Wow!. I laughed when they came out with five. and then six string basses. It got to be quite a
fad for a while. But now, if you watch a concert, you see them playing old Strats and P-basses
that are all beat up. Like an idiot, I traded my pre-CBS Strat for a Rickenbacker 370/12 when
the finish on it started to peel off. And it was only six years old at the time. And I gave money
to boot. Now, those same guitars with the peeling paint are going fo ten grand and up. Go figure.

I know what you mean, Dave. A guy in Georgia a few years back was making reproduction souvenir stickers like the ones that were used for world travelling luggage many decades ago. The electric guitar guys snapped them up and plastered them all over classic Fenders, Epiphones and Gipsons. When I saw a 50 year old Gretsch that looked like it had been dipped in stickers, I wanted to choke somebody.

The Stick comes in 10 and 12 string models, plus a few special versions like an extended bas, etc. The original wood Stickjs are my favorites, but that drawn aircraft aluminum 10 string my son has costs almost $1000 less, and actually has some musical advantages brought about by a different fret profile. The stick is played by "tapping" the strings so the technique is fun to watch, especially when someone is doing classical pieces like Bach or Mendelsson, where there are a lot of notes played rapidly. If I ever get one, I want to learn Jimmy Page's "Black Mountain Side" from Led Zeppelin I.
