Doing Things Wrong

Audiovox 12-String Guitar (1/2)


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.

The electronics are typical Danelectro, with a series/parallel internal-mode switch for the 4-wire pickups to get that sixties jangle. It works. The neck is walnut over maple, with a fixed steel truss rod. The body is oil-based polyurethane over pearl paint. The pickguard is masonite.

This was my second 12-string; I learned from the first one to use individual tuners rather than strip tuners, which require very precise drilling.

this guy poisoned the world

All the little bits and bobs that I used to order cheap from China have become much harder to get. eBay is a shadow of what it was just a year ago, there is not nearly as much cheap loothery supplies. But even if you find something, half the time it just disappears in shipping. Or at least it seems to disappear in shipping - a lot of tracking numbers from China are completely imaginary. As soon as you order something, they issue a tracking number to lock it in. That doesn't mean it shipped, or that it ever will! Fortunately, eBay makes it pretty easy to get your money back from such scammers.
