10 string or 12 string?
I'm a pro guitarist, and have been intrigued by the Stick for awhile, since Steve Adelson demonstrated one to me at a guitar show. I'm going to get a Chapman Stick, so, should I get a 10 string or a 12 string? Thanks! Bob

Bob E, why not call that guy Steve Adelson and get the pros and cons from his perspective. Are you a Long Island guy?

I'm not a Long Island guy, but I'm in Westchester County, NY, not too far. Good advice, I will, thanks.

Hey Bobby I lived in Westchester for many years and would regularly visit Steve for a while for lessons. Having someone of that caliber in essential your back yard is amazing for an instrument like the Stick.

Since you're a guitarist go 12 unless your fingers are fat. Go see that guy Steve he's got a Stick with a snake!

Re: 10 string or 12 string?
Better to have 12 and use ten than have ten and wish you had 12. I love my 10 string railboard but ordered a 12 String SG . Would have ordered a 12 string Railboard but that would have meant waiting 3 years. ( I heard rumours two years ago about a 12 string but didnt want to wait.) I have no regrets about my 10 string. I think Emmett loves his 10 and so does Gene Perry and Josh.
Talk to Steve Adelson. He can guide you

Re: 10 string or 12 string?
I've also seen Steve (Lee Vatip) in front of me in Montreal and I bought my 12 strings stick 2 years later. In last Ocotober I bought 10 strings railboard to experiment mainly the spacing between the strings. The tone is different but the spacing between strings is a major point.
12 strings is not a bad choice to start...10 strings is the orginal idea of Emmett Chapman at the beginning. Am I wrong?
