Finally a "real" member...
My stick arrived today. Very low wait time only ~ 8 weeks from when I ordered it. She's a real beauty!

Re: Finally a "real" member...
Congratulations! To put your wait in persective, I still have a four week wait for the release of the 2016 Fender Mustang 90. Seriously though, my Railboard arrived one day short of eight months after Cambria confirmed my order. Are you an aikidoka?

Nice unit, man! Can't wait to hear some clips! What's the tuning?

Some ~40 years ago I took Aikido... no longer a practitioner, if I every really was. Picked up the book in a garage sale many years ago - brings back fond memories.

Right now I'm happy with that decision, because my poor brain is having a hard enough time learning the melody side without having to learn something different for the other side. Meanwhile, I've decided my left hand is an idiot. I can play (I use the term quite loosely at this point) scales with my right hand on either side. My left hand struggles... I thought it would be easier because I don't seem to have much trouble with chords in that hand on a guitar. (Muscle memory from my youth no doubt.) It does seem to do beter higher up the neck, where spacing is closer. We shall see, (said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.)

Re: Finally a "real" member...
Good for you, Doc! Happy to see it finally arrive. I love the fifths in the bass tuning myself, but maybe I'd love the mirrored fourths as well, if I had started with that! You can change and experiment at will, though, and I'm sure you'll find what works best for you. Best of luck and congratulations on your new, purty Stick!

You may find that the Stick's scale length is such that the fret spacing is too wide for you in the lower regions: the lowest root I could play on my Railboard's bass side was the 10th fret. This limitation, caused by my spastic cerebral palsy (“More than 32 years of pain, without a service interruption!”), is both why I hope to afford an SG12 and why I plan to buy a Fender Mustang 90—which I will, of course, mod thoroughly.

Re: Finally a "real" member...
What a beauty! Don't be hard on your left hand - work with shapes and pretend you're a drummer. Enjoy those first few weeks.
