The NS/Stick is now available in three different hardwood body choices, and a variety of color stains with a penetrating "soft finish", allowing
the player to feel the wood itself. Most of these are single piece, with some being matched halves.
The small, distinctively shaped body is bottom heavy for balance, and together with the headless neck allows this guitar-bass
to be comfortably held more vertically for two handed tapping. A conventional bass guitar strap enables easy sliding of the
instrument to a more horizontal picking and plucking position, or to an approximate 45 degree angle for a combination of techniques.
There's also a black anodized a knee rest for seated play.
