Tony! As the duly-appointed Disciple of Stick Bling (well, I just named you that!), first I want to say I appreciate immensely you posting pics and info of your prototype Sticks--that are now mainstream, able-to-be-ordered products from Stick Enterprises.
I'm very curious about the 8-string Railboard. I have the 10-string, I'm thinking strongly of getting a 12-string gold plasma, but the 8-string Railboard fascinates me, particularly the tuning.
Are your 8-strings tuned in 4ths or 5ths (or some mix or guitar tunings or whatever)? What are those tunings?
Does the 8-string Railboard sound different compared to the 10-string Railboard? I would assume that it would sound the same, but the tunings are probably different and also the string gauges. I assume the standard R-Block pickups, as well?
And the big request: you got even a short video maybe that gives us an idea of how one feels to play and especially sounds?
Thanks again Tony for posting the pics and this thread and I appreciate whatever you, Disciple of Prototype Stick Bling, can share with us!
