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.


The 1/2" flush-cut router bit came today. I mic'ed it, and it is just a few thousandths shy of 12.7mm. I put my old 3/8" / 9.5mm bearing on it, with a spacer I made from a tiny washer, and did a test cut. Then I swapped the bearing for 10mm and did another. These Yonico bits are nice because they color-coordinate with DeWalt tools !
