12 String Progress Pt.3

I am happy to report that his finally arrived at this stage. The guitar has been sanded, polished, had the bridge glued on, neck fitted, frets knocked in and is now ready for the rest of the hardware and to be strung up.

I’ve placed my orders for some packs of 12-String Sets, hopefully they get here in time for some fun soon. As usual, enjoy these pictures:

Shiny Top
Sides

The shine is much better compared to some of my previous work, however it is not entirely ‘flat’, as you would notice distortion in the reflection. That is more work in progress, but all in; pretty happy with what I’ve got now.

Look at that shine under the lamp!
Fitting

The Stewmac U-Bridge Clamps would have to do this round as my regular clamps wouldn’t fit due to the extended length from the soundhole with the 12-fret joint design.

Fretted and ready!

I would now need to get the hardware fitted, carve the bone Nut and Saddles and get the intonation done. Hopefully get this up and playing real soon.
