Q: How much for one of your string sticks?
A: We are charging $100 USD for a basic one without any wood burning designs and $150 USD with. They can be custom designs within reason, as we are burning them by hand. We are currently crafting them with spruce and cedar tops with maple neck\sides. Specialty woods may raise the cost depending on availability, price, etc…
Q: I’d like one with a bigger body and wider neck, can you do that?
A: Currently, our necks are 1″ wide and the 2 types of bodies are 9 1/2″ long by 4″ wide at the bottom and 11 1/2″ long by roughly 6″ wide at the bottom. For reference, a standard mandolin neck is usually around 1 1/16″ wide. We can craft variations within reason.
Q: Am I able to get one with electronics?
A: Yes. We can add a piezo pickup and output jack to them but cannot fully guaranty that the hardware will last forever. In all reality, something is bound to fail at some point in time and it will be very hard or next to impossible to fix. There is no access to the inside of the instrument other than a small sound hole. The electronics portion would be sold “as is”.
