there was cool one that ben crowe made of crimson guitars where he made a 12 string with a rickenbacker inspired headstock, not sure if I like it, but it is good for saving space.

I agree with you, the weight being a primary issue with the longer headstock, I also think it would suit a strat style 12 string better than a tele style, thanks for the feedback.

@robin I agree with you robin, it's been holding me back a bit but now I can continue with the real build, I will go with the 6 x 6 headstock.

@tyreman That is wild and cool. My only issue with it is a practical one, I think it will be top (head) heavy when playing. Unless you have some counter weight at the back of the body, I feel the head...

@tyreman I like the idea of a straight string pull, thats what I try to do with the six string headstock design that I use. But, I do agree with the other guys that it looks out of proportion.

I'm currently ploughing my way through watching the acoustic course videos, making the most of the torrential rainy days we're having here. You've convinced me to make a bolt on neck, when I get aroun...

Nice work James, looking good.

Nice one James, looks great. I’m going to have to have a go at making one soon, everyone seems to be building acoustic instruments in recent times.

@robin No you have it right! The A course is only one string called the chanterelle. It s function is melody string. Because of esthetics, the peg and peg hole is made but does not have a real functio...

@koendb It looks truly amazing, I wonder what it sounds like. 😉

Thanks guys! Today I was able to take some better pictures... Attachment : 64AB7317-B40E-4E97-A904-C4CECE41AD3A_1_105_c.jpeg Attachment : 8E149E50-6797-41CF-A291-337A6FC8C9BA_1_105_c.jpeg ...

@koendb The most wonderful of wonderful things. 🏆🥇

@boo looks great!!!

Getting it together now. I just need to find a few more bits to put on it, such as another string tree and strap buttons. Oh, I may want to fire up the soldering iron too so I can wire in the pickups....

@boo looks great. I think I've found an alternative to the treble bleed - the 50s wiring. Google it. Apparently a thing. It will give a similar effect. I did it on my Tele and the effect is nearly the...

Yeah @boo. I find everyone else needs me to do something during my precious guitar building time. 🤣 🎸🎶🙏🙂

@russ Cheers Russ, yes I’m loving life in Bonny Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 even though I’ve turned into a full time builder instead of full time guitar ma...

Good to see you back in action @boo. Lovin' the whisky stain idea. Hope you're enjoying your life up here. 🎸🎶🙏🙂

That's the spirit!

I'm using an unfinished control plate and some unfinished brass knobs. I've got CTS pots, Orange drop cap 47, and a treble bleed. Attachment : IMG_20230825_114037.jpg Attachment : IMG_2023...
