 Need help identifying this stick
Can anyone help me ascertain the make and model of the stick in the attached .jpg?
It's for sale locally, and I'm waiting for the owner to get back to me with more information, but in the meantime my searches online have been fruitless. I'm not even sure that this one is made by Chapman. I can't find any other images online of a stick with the guitar-style humbuckers with the poles showing. I don't know if the pickups are aftermarket, or if the whole thing is a knock-off, or what.

Nope, not a Stick, don't recognize it as any other brand either, looks sort of like a homemade project.

 Re: Need help identifying this stick
I would concur with Rob's assessment there. Not a Warr Guitar, not a Megatar. Could be some variant of a Krappy guitar or most likely the home version thereof.

I played them at a trade show and found them quite nice. Neck with 32.28" scale but can still carry the Stick tuning spanning five octaves from low C to high C.

 Re: Need help identifying this stick
So Per, if you had to choose - you would still be Chapman Stick man? (I am pretty certain a resounding yes is in order, but I ask anyway...!)

If was rich I would have one of those cheap 32" scale tappers beside my Sticks. I liked the shorter scale at the Stick tuning and I liked one of the two humbuckers (would exchange the other pickup) but I don't think it is comparable with my Grand or SG-12. On the other hand, none of my Sticks has the same feel as that plank. They are just different.

 Re: Need help identifying this stick
Thank you for all the informed opinions. The seller finally got back to me about this - he says it's a one-off that was made by a guitar shop with the same string configuration and scale as a Grand Stick.
