Vintage 12-string guitar!! 1920/30's style..

I do like slotted headstocks..
Always wanted an old 1930's 12-string but they cost WAY too much for a poor blues singer..
I had an old Stella in my mind when I built this one!!

So, I bought a 1950/60's 12-string and modified the head and turned it brown(ish)
Been carving mahogany for a few days now, here's how it went...
New ol'timey head!! Just the way I like it, like an old Stella...

The neck is perfect, low action and a faat tone, I'm happy with this mod, folks..!!
Gonna keep this in standard tuning..

Also, I installed the piezo pickup I've shown earlier:

A pickup that I'm really satisfied with.

You really can handle a twelve string with pure brilliance, just love that tone, it's very true to say you have to pay out, to get something to treasure.
