This 12-string Grand Chapman Stick is made of bamboo and has turquoise inlays.  It has a PASV-4 pickup and is in matched recipocal tuning.  The strings are lightly aged and still keep intonation very well.   It was made in 2010 and has serial number 5666.This stick comes with a hardshell case.  It does not have any MIDI pickups.   A new instrument would cost $3200 for the 12-string and the PASV-4 pickup and $260 for the hardshell case.   This stick does *not* come with a stereo cord.    One quirk about this stick is that the melody and bass pickups have been reversed.    So, essentially, the bass comes out the "side" of the cable that would normally have melody and vice versa.  This means switching the stick to mono mode via the switch doesn't work as well.  The upside of this wiring is that plugging a regular guitar chord into the stick puts you into a perfect mono mode.  This makes it great if you are primarily going to use it in stereo mode or mono mode without as much switching.  Personally, I find the stick best in stereo mode where the bass side can be mixed as a bass and the melody side can have effects on it like reverb that might not sound as well mixed in with the bass.  This stick is in great condition.  I assume anyone interested in it is familiar with the chapman stick, but for more information visit Stick Enterprises at stick.com and ask questions on stickist.com
