Instruments NS/Stick™ Guitar/bass
NECK/INLAYS
Laminated Bolt-on Neck
The NS/Stick now features a laminated bamboo or wenge bolt-on neck with our distinctive Stick styled rear beveled edges and flat surfaces ( US trademark #2,138,101). The "Rails" are of 1/8" square stainless steel, a smaller size than on our other Stick models. Keeping the neck straight is easy with our flush-to-the-rear truss rod as on The Stick, exposed at the flat rear neck surface for quick and convenient adjustment and for the most reliable counter-tension to the pull of the strings. The headless design allows this guitar-bass model to be comfortably held more vertically for two handed tapping.
The NS/Stick is set up for low tapping action with the straight fretboard typical of all Stick models, and with precision fret work to create a flat plain of rounded "Rail" tips as a playing surface.
Four inlays to choose from
Inlays are of a "Recon Stone" material in white pearl, black pearl, turquoise and bright green glow (ivory by day).
