or What to do while waiting for a Stick

Well, I've nearly finished reading Stickman by Jim Reilly, great book; really good insight into Emmett's life and what drove him on to create the Stick and the free hands playing method. Upmost respect for Mr Chapman

Have been going through Greg Howards tutorial DVD, which is great and well produced but without a Stick ... it's just been making me want it more.

Trawling the internet for all things Stick related...

Drooling over a Mod Duo, looks like a very cool FX unit

Annoying the wife, but that happens most days TBH

Honestly, I don't think I've been this excited with anticipation since I was a kid... It's like feckin Xmas!

Please Mr Chapman let me have my Stick, soon... I've (mostly) been well behaved...

Anyhoo, will let you know when it arrives.

Back to pacing..........

Hey great unboxing Vid Paigan. Doesn't help with my frustration though, well a little, but hey glad you got yours. Will definitely post when I get mine.

I'm kinda reassured that your order is on day 57 Looking forward to seeing that unboxing.

I keep telling myself it will be worth it and I know it will.

What's the estimated wait time these days?

Ah, you boys crack me up. When I got my first Stick I just drove to Sam Ash NYC and bought it off the wall....

Lol I once dealt with Fender on a replacement neck that had been broken on a signature series Strat. I wanted a new neck with the same serial.

Fender doesn't DO that...

Lol Once the appropriate level of grovelling had been achieved, and the proper bribes paid, and all documents and waivers signed it was only six months wait!

For a neck. That is CNC'd. That they make thousands of.

I was warned that "I would get it when I fucking got it, and to fuck off with phone calls and emails or they wouldn't do it"

Plus I had to pay in advance... lol Kind of like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld, those Fender guys...

My Railboard took quite some time to come, but my Grand sort of surprised me. The Grand wasn't too big of a deal, because I had two other Sticks to play already and I was really confused with where to begin musically on the instrument. But the Grand was finished really quickly, and I play it way more than my Railboard...

Anyways, I'm sure you guys will get your new instruments soon enough, and the freaking out will be over hehe Kind of funny in a way...

I got grand stick last year.

The spec of my grand stick is wenge body, linear inlay, Black tuners, PASV-4 pickup.
In my case, I paid $ 300 as a deposit one month after ordering.
Then,about 1.5 months later I got a stick.
I think that the delivery date will also change depending on the material of the wood and the type of pickup, inlays and tunes.
In my case I also remember that they had no stock of PASV-4, and that a little production was delayed.

Please look forward to it.

Best,
