Oh wow. It's beautiful.

I shall name it "patience". :)

The "redder red" is awesome. I had no idea that was even possible! Can this be a new (standard) option for all types of Railboard instrument, please?

Hey Grandstick. I have an XG graphite and I would say the difference is in both the pick up and the board. There's a beautiful openness to the acoustic sound of the railboard and it plays so easily.

I have PASV 4 and from what I heard at Hobart Stick Night , Eliot's railboard had a little more openness in the mid range sound. It still has the thunderous bottom, but there was a new and pleasing signature to the sound. Kinda like the direct warmth of the PASV 4 but with a slightly more guitaristic openness.

Words don't really do it justice of course.

I'd say overall, it definitely feels like a better stick, in sound and appearance.

Fantastic!!! A million congrats to Emmett and team for another lovely creation.

That new redder red looks really good. I wonder how "high glossy" that could be? Would still love a copper or a silver Railboard #dream
