Alrighty then, so the only way I can justify a new build to myself anytime soon is to satisfy my lust for a 12 string. As has often been mentioned here, the only 12 strong bridge Warmoth offers is one they never route for in the showcase.
However... through my ace detective work I've found the Gotoh 12 strong TOM/STP set up, which comparing drawings looks like a dimensional equal to the 6 string TOM/STP. Granted with this set up you don't have seperate settings for intonation or string height on the octave strings... but it opens up a lot of possibilities in the showcase.
So where's the flaw in my plan? Am I missing something on the TOM/STP front? Teles don't all have seperate settings for intonation so it's not unheard of... but why the heck doesn't Warmoth carry that bridge set up if it's as simple as it looks?
And as long as I'm rambling, hows about humbucker routes for bridge and tail with no middle pup?
