Ok, I finally got around to taking some pictures of my last couple of builds. This is the rosewood "twelecaster" sale-build I finished last month. I hope to be finished tuning it sometime next year:
It's an all rosewood thinline body, with a maple pinstripe. It was in the showcase with no neck, bridge or pickup routes, making it irrestible to someone who always wanted both a rosewood tele and an electric 12. After much wavering, I decided to go with no f-holes and a standard tele (pearloid) pickguard, and left it unfinished.
The neck is a Warmoth Pro '59 roundback/maple/ebony/MOP dots/clear satin finish.
Pickups are a GFS Memphis Alnico 2 Rickenbacker tone Vintage Jangle Pickup in the bridge, and a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover Model™ SH-55 in the neck - the idea being to get both (sort of) 360/12 and ES1275D tones.
Standard tele master volume and tone (500k).
5 way switch - positions 2 and 4 put a 33k resistor in series with the opposite pickup (to reduce its volume somewhat), so it's essentially a 5-way blend control.
