If I could afford it I would buy an NS/Stick half fretless right away. That's the instrument of my dreams (and has been quite a long time even before it was invented)! It has eight strings and the fretboard divided into two sections: four fretless bass strings and four fretted drop-B strings. This collaboration between Steinberg and Chapman Enterprises seems to be the ultimate marriage of tapping, plucking, fretless and regular guitar technique playing. I'm not too bothered that there are only eight strings because the two sides overlap a bit in note span and thanks to that you will be able to play a lot of closely voiced chords that are difficult on a regular guitar. I have built "no cost" fretless and drop-B solutions here from old electric guitars of mine, but having it all-in-one would be so much better. Especially as the stick comes with two separated mic outputs making it possible to treat each side of the fretboard with different effects, loopers etc. Thinking about what can be achieved in ways of musical expression with that multi technique instrument is exciting! I hope I will get a chance one day to start exploring this instrument. http://www.stick.com/news/halffretless_ns.html Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se www.perboysen.com On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 3:29 AM, Raul Bonell <raul.bonell@gmail.com> wrote: > some years ago i switched from a grand stick to a 8 strings warr guitar. >12 > strings were too much for this lazy brain i have :-) visibility of neck > improves too ... although i try to avoid it as much as possible. > > 2009/10/13 richard sales <richard@glasswing.com> >> >> i owned a stick back around 1981.... sold it.
