I know, that that's a FAQ, but where to read about it?

Read about what? There is no official information about a 12-string railboard. We are hoping there might be one someday, but it is just a hope.

Such is not likely to happen; I can't imagine a Stick with that much wood removed would be able to remain stable, unless some kind of perpendicular reinforcing bar inserts were developed.

Would the full aluminum be too heavy?

I don't think that my Railboard is too heavy at all. It's only slightly heavier than my old Ironwood was. I got adjusted to it really quickly.

Thanks JRJ…. I really appreciate your advice and information…. going to have to really think about this…. I am really in love w/ALphonso Johnson's Stick that was a dark wood dyed white. Killer!

I war bribed a bit by it's price and the thing, that it's made of aluminum, which is cool and futuristicly progressive. I was very dissapointed, that there was no Grand Railboard, or something) Bird said, that 12-str Railboard comes too heavy, or something...

I got adjusted to it really quickly. A 12-string would be heavier than the 10 with the current overall design. It could possibly be the heaviest Stick made. I'm not sure that would be a deterrent for many people. A good belt or a lap bar is a good idea anyway and is pretty much required. I would give a 12-string Railboard a serious look. I do love my rosewood Stick and I might prefer a grand made of natural ash. I don't know yet. So many possibilities! -Eric

I have a 12 strings (description is always at the bottom of my messages) and if I had to buy a railboard (or any other 10 strings stick) it would be for the difference in each instrument. I'm sure playing a 12 and (or) a 10 is 2 different world. That's the main reason why I'd like to have money to buy a 10. I love my 12 on the other side.
