My 12 string jaguar.

By request. Vintage Fender with modded floyd bridge, redesigned headstock, bartolini, etc.

Enjoy!

Now that's cool... :headbang1:

Its got its problems. Controls are a mess, you flip one switch and three others won't work, not to mention the big ugly indent where the old bridge cavity was... But I love it. :icon_biggrin:

Regardless of the issues, it scores a 11 outta 10 for being a 12 string with a Floyd... :icon_thumright:

Um.... :sad1: I forgot to mention that the floyd is not being used as a trem. It's set up as a hardtail.

OK, so it's only a 10 outta 10 then... :doh:

You knew the controls were whacked when you selected the Jaguar as your platform.  But I always have a big jangly soft spot for 12's. The floyd also threw me for a loop until you said it was fixed.

Someday I hope to make a parody of this guitar. Like a jaguar but simpler... Jazz caster? With a floyd that works.

Abusing 12's in ways most people never think of is great fun - I especially like pushing a 12 into a distorted amp of the chimey variety - they really ring, and it's awesome fun. Get that 2nd harmonic pushing on top of unisons and octaves.... if I were home I'd pull out my 12 string strat now. I need to remember to  bring my 12 next time I take my amp where I can really push it. 

But i don't think that a working floyd would be very rewarding.  I find playing 12's is always a balance between stringing light enough that you can play it, and heavy enough you don't get accidental bends when you look at it crosseyed. The whole jangle/shimmer thing quickly falls into a pile of awful crud whenever the tiniest bit of pitch bend is introduced.

Since I forgot to actually say it last time, and not just comment - way cool guitar.  :headbang1: :headbang1:

Thanks! I like to tune the low E's to a power chord for metal, and still get a jangle out of my riffs, like a hardcore jimmy page. :headbang1:
