oh on another note (sorry for double post) some of the hex processors can do string retuning.. the VG99 has a funny one that tunes all the strings to E (heh, remember that yamaha midi guitar controller that used the same string for 1-6)

Antares even made a GK compatible box that was all about tunings (lap steel players liked it, they even released a lap steel SW pack for it)

I just bring it up b/c if you are GK equipped, experimenting - at least as proof of concept - is easy enough to do in SW

C, E, G, B, D, F#, A...etc...

For any particular reason Alain?



It gives triads in open tuning...more or less. Easy chord with one finger playing a barré. On a staff notes are that way too.


kind of reminds me of slide/steel tunings (like C6 without the 6th, maybe the 6th would be useful)

===========================================
Notes you can't get in one hand are posible to play with the other hand. That is one of the main reason why I like so much the Stick.

And to my mind regular patterns like All Fourths (Fifths, Major Thirds,...) are a big plus in ease of making use of those other possibilities.

It's a major reason why I already used All Fourths on guitar before I 'found' the Stick.

However each to their own, horses for courses, and so on.

Hurrah for the flexibility of the Stick. :D

My next move may be to try out a 'Dual' tuning, i.e. same on both sides. It's an arrangement for which there are standard tunings on the SG12, so why not on Stick too if it gives the sounds that the player wants? Only one way to find out... :)

I'm under the impression the railboard that he got to replace his stolen stick didn't have the relief scalloping - saldy that doesn't seem like an option from SE anymore (I get the blanks are probably batch run, but hopefully in future years, they can pull 1 or 2 off the line before the flycutter)


Roman's Railboard had the relief moved under strings 9-10. In previous years, this order option certainly existed.


they actually ran the flycutter on the outside edges?
