When did you all order? March 5th here in case people are wondering about turnaround time. I’m still excited though, can’t wait to get it.
lol i ordered in january. i think seimitsu stick made mine take longer.
Hi finkl I was wondering if you could make me a stick with one of Toodles Universal PCBS with the port and everything http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=132937 i’d be willing to make arrangements.
omg the suspense is killing me. been checking my mail everyday. nothing yet
Hey noel, havent talked to you in awhile. Anyways look like business still going strong
hey finkle do you think you can make me a stick anytime soon or are you packed right now?
finkle:
Kinda new to this forum but not new to building custom sticks, I have a new design that I feel is quite unique in looks and in overall design. It incorperates nicely finished hardwood and a handformed steel body which works perfectly with Sanwa,Seimitsu,Happ and just about any other parts on the market today but specifically eliminates the problems with mounting japanese parts in thicker materials such as MDF.
The size isnt fixed, I can change the slope, height and width within reason to one’s request.
Since the main body is steel or aluminum it provides a very smooth finish which takes paint well and yields a super smooth paint finish with no gaps shown.
The side plates can either be finished hardwood for a luxurious look or can be made from machined aluminum and finished a specific color.
There is no worry about “ringing” or tin can sounds as the box is built quite sound and is braced to eliminate these unwanted sounds.
I’m no graphic artist just a fabricator so any artwork which is wanted would have to be given to me to be printed or done afterwards. I think this is fair as it is a custom stick and should suit what the person likes. I will provide a lexan top to protect your artwork rest assured
The Stick in the following link is an example to what it can look like but it is also for sale. It has 8 orange Sanwa OBSF-30 30mm push buttons in total, one orange Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y balltop stick, both oak and poplar finished sideplates, grey-bronze hammered finish, lexan top with artwork and of course your choice of pcb installed wether its xbox, PS or DC all for $160USD plus shipping here from Canada. Any other custom quoted sticks may vary in price depending on what is requested.
