12 String Tune-o-matic?
- Thread starter GuitarEC
- Start date
Okay, I've seen a few people look at this thread, but no responses. I'm guessing that it would be easier to illustrate what I mean, so I found a link to a 12 string electric on sale (a cheap-o guitar, but I think it will make my point as to what I'm asking).
That's what I mean when I ask if Warmoth can make a 12 string thru body...
Any thoughts?

looks like a standard tuno to me with two notches in each sadle. dont know if that would intonate properly.

I have no idea how 12 strings work.
I'm guessing you use 2 sets of the same string on it and the low E's are tuned the same?
If you want to see a crazier bridge, check out the Yamaha 9 string SGB (i Thinks thats the name)

Since TOM bridges need to be filed for your individual application, it would probably be easy to get your local tech/luthier to perform that function. Regarding the drilling for a string-thru 12 string body, just call Warmoth and ask. Alternatively, PM Gregg or Wyliee.

It's a Veillette with a lot of custom features.

It's become my favorite guitar of all time, with the exception of string changing time.

I love gold hardware, and have no problem with it. But, some people do. I have a buddy whose sweat could defeat the armor on an M1 Abrams tank. Needless to say, he can't have gold hardware. The plating is only a few molecules thick on guitar parts, and someone like him can dissolve it in no time flat. At that point, it looks like shit, unless you're one of those "relic" guys who likes that sort of thing.
Let ME play your guitar! Muahahaha!

My youngest brother is the same way. He's the only one I've seen that can ruin stainless steel strings, I won't even let him look at my guitars anymore....Cagey said:I love gold hardware, and have no problem with it.

ugh... I've never had gold hardware before but... I do tend to sweat sulfuric acid. Probably Mt Dew actually, but still corrosive.
