I was wondering if I could convert a Strat I have to 12 string easily. Here's what I've come up with so far:
Issue 1 Neck: solution is easy, order a 12 string neck and 12 tuners from Warmoth.
Issue 2 Bridge: My Strat has a vintage style 6 hole tremolo. I'm not modifying the body, I'd rather just buy a new one than do that. I looked around for an example of a 12 string strat that had a 6 hole bridge and haven't seen one yet. I did see some 2 point trems for 12 strings, but I'm not modifying the body. There's obviously a lot of hard tail bridges, but I'm not modifying the body. Seems like the only thing I could do is try to find some kind of 12 string saddle to put on my existing bridge? I probably won't do that either.
Anyone have any experience in doing something like this?
