May I ask what it feels like playing the lapstick with the Baritone strings?

Also, what brand would you recommend?

I am thinking of getting a lapstick and need it to be in standard tuning since I will be mostly using it for practice for both singing and playing. Thanks!

Anyone else who has done it this way, please, any tips would be greatly appreciated!

@machitect Hi friend. You can use 012 or 013 too. Any brand is useful. The tension over strings is low when the scale is small, but you can trying many gauges for your playing with standard tuning. It's a very good option if you need to train in places where a common guitar is not allowed.

Ola amigo.. Encontro dessas guitarras no Brasil? Qto custa? Abraço

[AfonsoGuitar]

Olá, essa guitarra você encontrará somente na Holanda encomendando com o Phil Neal no site da Lapstick.

O interessante é que algum amigo que esteja pela Europa possa trazer para vc, pois cabe em qualquer mala.
