    I own 2 Chapman NS Sticks and really like them. They are my main string instrument, because of their versatility in being able to play bass lines as well as guitar (as I have it set up and tuned). It's too bad about Emmett's passing. He was a kind person. I wonder if there will be any more innovation as far as the stick goes. He was kind of that guyto surprise us after a while.
