Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this Chapman SG-12 Stick Guitar Short Scale 12-String Electric Guitar! The 12-string “Stick Guitar” gives the two-handed tapping musician an overall higher range for lead and accompaniment than our 36″-scale models. Based on the Chapman Grand Stick design but shorter in scale length by 5 frets, the SG12 is the perfect vehicle for players who don’t need to occupy the bass role, but still want a wide range of notes with more overlap between the string sets than on the Chapman 10-string Alto Stick. Shorter scale lengths allow for lighter gauge strings, which can make tapping up high easy with the lowest possible action. Notes near the nut have a full sound with plenty of fundamental frequency for a strong, supportive accompaniment, as on piano or rhythm guitar. Closer fret spacing means easy reach of close intervals on both sets of strings. The Rails, stainless steel precision tapping frets, provide excellent tactile feedback and clearer tone for tapped high notes than conventional guitar frets, with enough room for fingertips between the fret tops even at the highest notes. This makes for fast, articulate tapping in the high lead guitar and violin range. This Stick Guitar, made of Wenge, is equipped with the quad Villex PASV-4 stereo/mono Block pickup module, which offers a wide range of tones. Recommended tunings range from variants on our 4ths melody/inverted 5ths bass tunings, to parallel “double-neck” guitar tunings, and two mirrored 4ths tunings, one oriented toward the range of two guitars and the other for piano music. The overall range available for the fretboard is from G below guitar low E to A above guitar open high E. Any tuning the player desires within these extremes is possible. As on all of our instruments, the tuning is completely configurable and intonatable with the adjustable bridge and nut hardware. This guitar is in excellent shape, rated at 9.5/10. All original and free of any breaks, cracks or repairs. Included with this guitar is an original gig bag and a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net! Thank you for considering this exceptional instrument from Lovies Guitars.
