I've seen folks use the Floyd retainer on 12 stringers also.

Okay, whoa. Getting a guitar backwards I can forgive, but inverted controls? In a shooter?! Now that's just crazy talk. Unclean. Unclean!The Aaron said:

No, no, no. Inverted controls make perfect sense!
Forward on the joystick = looking down, just like leaning forward to look down IRL.
Backward on the stick = looking up, just like leaning back to look up IRL.
I think it comes down to whether you perceive the joystick control as being a literal up/down control, or a kinetic forward/backward control. I'm the latter.

I was a Flight Sim-er from the SubLogic/Apple][+ days. Its ingrained so deep that I can't play a lot of side scrollers

Fair warning. Just got a "polished nickel steel" string retainer. It was pretty rough. Maybe rough is too strong a word. Printing lines were definitely visible. After about an hour of hand sanding, I got it to a pretty nice satin finish with no print lines. It would take me another hr to get to an actual polish. Overall, it's going to work great, and definitely worth the $30 compared to vintage.
You are correct. Almost impossible to find. I even talked to a nice guy at Fender. They are still being used on the "Villager" 12 string acoustic. He said that even he couldn't get one for himself.
BTW, the double neck looks great.

Good to know. I'm always leery when the product photo is a rending from the CAD program.

Well, I'd need some dimensions on the thing first, from just the photo's it's a pretty simple part.The Aaron said:
