Re: 1976 Stick with guitar frets ques.
I had one of these for a couple of years and really regret letting it go. If the Stick is setup right
these instruments can be great. To make it that way you will probably need to have
a truss rod installed like jaap said but it would be worth it. There are earlier sticks that had a
neck width that was a little thinner so I am guessing that widening the neck was one of
the first improvements. Guitar frets are not as good for tapping as Rods or Rails
but that being said once you get used to it or if you have never known the difference in the first place this Stick would be an ideal first instrument. Also it would probably be recommended
by the chief to keep the tuning in 'Classic' or 'Matched Reciprocal'.
Good luck, these days those instruments are a real find
