Doing Things Wrong

Audiovox 12-String Guitar (1/2)

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.


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.
