I don't like the angle of the belt hook, as it causes stress for my left hand. So, I'm going to fabricate a non-angled belt hook for better wrist angle. I normally play laying down, so I seldom use the belt hook. For sitting or standing, I use my home made stick stand. http://www.stickist.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12070 |

I went with a non angled pedestal as well. Found on my rail board my left wrist was bent too much. Feels great now. I ordered non angled on my SG12. Just be careful that if you put any new pedestal on that the screws don’t go thru and push up the pickup. I almost destroyed my pick up as the screws sent were too long and they pushed the pickup out of place but I fixed it so got lucky it didn’t break. That was scary. I ended up making a block out of wood to make up for the longer screws. |

Just the opposite here. I started with a straight hook on my Railboard, but ultimately switched to a standard angle. I usually play seated with the hook on a dowel across my thighs, and I realized that I usually played with the dowel at the same angle as the standard belt hook. As a result, I could hardly play standing at all, with the hook in an actual belt! I minimize the left wrist strain by making sure to keep my elbow out and wrist straight as possible under the circumstances. |

I've found myself in the same spot, when that additional rotation angle produced by the standard hook pedestal affects my left wrist - it literally starts to be painful after about an hour of practice. Might be a technique problem, but I want to try out that non-angled hook pedestal. I am too far away from US to order it from Stick enterprises, and this pedestal is not listed on their site even to make that order. Also I want to keep the original pedestal, in case if I would not like the non-angled version - so sawing off the original part was off the table. ------ Therefore, I've designed a replacement 3d printed pedestal part of my own. I have not tried to play a lot with it yet, but at least it fits. I've shared the model and Freecad sources on thingiverse, so anybody interested could print it: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6257554 I've kept the original inclination of about 9 degrees "towards face". Height of the pedestal is in the middle between high and low sides original part had. This makes it (presumably) about 4mm higher than a sawed-off part. Both big screws I had from the factory - are the same length - so with a replacement pedestal one screw goes a bit deeper into Stick's body, and other one goes about the same amount shallower. (compared to original part) Hope this would help somebody. |
