Another gem from my quick scan through was on the subject of capturing the sound of your Stick for recording. Apparently it's very important to position the mic carefully to ensure you can pick up the acoustic sound of the instrument!
I wouldn't knock it until you've tried it... apparently the "acoustic" guitar part from the Jane's Addiction song, "Been Caught Stealing" was a mic'ed up, unamplified electric guitar - meaning, they mic'ed the electric guitar near the neck and didn't amplify the guitar itself.
This technique might work well for Stick - a nice tube condenser or ribbon mic positioned near the pickup housing, above the strings. Add a vintage tube compressor and you're good to go.
