From The StringStation website:
“The StringStation utilizes most every playing technique known to stringed instruments and new ones as well that have evolved from the combination of 3 customized 8-string steel guitars, one 6-string and a 10-string Chapman Stick. The effect is quite awesome and unique. ”

“Developed by former Passport/Audion recording artist Jim Bartz. Bartz was discovered and signed as a guitarist pre-StringStation by Larry Fast of Peter Gabriels band while he was an engineer/producer at one of the midwests premier recording facilities.”
