Re: Two beautiful instruments for sale
Quite some time ago, I was working on the idea of making my own Stick. I ordered some strings from Tractor and he didn't send them to me. I contacted him and as an apology for the mix up, he sent me three sets of strings for the price of one.
There are six melody strings .009 .011 .013 .016 .029W .040W There are six bass strings .025W .035W .050W .065W .085W .100W Two of the packages were never opened. The Third package was tried on my vintage Stick but I never liked the sound of them, so I stuck them back in the package.
When my four sets of NewTone strings arrived, I really liked them, so that is what I use on the vintage Stick. I later got a set of SE strings and they work great on my Railboard, as I didn't like them on the vintage Stick.
I bought a large piece of PurpleHeart wood for my old Stick project.
The triangular shaped frets arrived from Belarus because they were patented in North America and nobody could buy them without buying the guitars from the patent holder.
I also bought specialized locking tuners similar to the PRS design lockers. I had a hard time finding those, because PRS holds the patent of their locking tuners and want a small fortune for them aftermarket. Lockers are great. You slip the string thru the tuner hole and tighten down the locker, then a half a turn of the tuner and you are fully tuned. Pretty slick.
I also bought several sets of high end pickups. Lots of cool stuff in my junk box that may some day be used on my own creation.

Toneweaver is class . I had a Storm years ago. Couldn’t get strings for it after Tractor folded. I saw a Toneweaver with built in midi. Nice instrument.
