12-String-Guitars

Standard 12-string guitars.



This twelver is a mashup of a number of different models. The body is Danelectro-style masonite over chambered plywood, with Tolex binding. The headstock is interleaved Rickenbacker, the bridge is more like a Gibson, while the overall style is my typical Audiovox.

Extended headstock with all tuners interleaved on one side. Strip tuners gave tight spacing, but required very precise drilling. EBay body. Home Depot neck.

I've wanted one of these for a long time. This is a 2-axis milling vise. You bolt it to your drill press, and it turns it into a light-duty milling machine, with the proper bits, which I have. The vise handle is at the left, the slide handles are at the front and right.
