I hate to type this, but OMG!!! Everything I expected and more. My God the low end and sustain on this thing is outrageous! Haven't even tried it with effects yet - the upper register strings just ring out that Elephant Talk tone clean!
A bit intimidating (and what a wide neck for a dedicated four stringer!) and I have along way to go to get the fully independent hand thing going, but this is the best thing I've bought in ages. |

It's the last one on this page, now marked sold. They have some good deals on already made instruments on that page - various Sticks and another NS/Stick. http://www.stick.com/instruments/reserve/ |

And believe me, I am nowhere close to being Don Schiff on this thing yet! But have managed to pull off a few neat counterpart things. This will take some time. |
