Chapman Stick Prices Comparison
There are two ways to compare Stick and Megatar instruments.
You could take the least-cost, comparable instruments and compare their sound and features.
Or you could take two comparably-priced instruments and compare what you get for your investment.
Let's do both! ...
First Compare Least-Cost 12-String Instruments:
Stick Enterprises Grand Stick has --
- Assembly Time: 9-12 Months
- Higher Pricing: $2500
- Value: You Decide

- Assembly Time: 2-6 weeks **
- Lower Pricing: $1600
