Interestin' use of 70's era Fender saddles too.

On second look... heck he only cut the treble side off a hardtail strat bridge, and didn't even use the string thru.

I LIKE IT!!
(though I think it should be 8-string!). . .


As I had mentioned a couple times before:
I very frequently capo my 12-string at the 5th-7th fret on certain songs for a kind of psuedo-mando sound . .

I often wonder what the possibility/feasibility would be to build/alter an intrument that has the same scale length of a capo'ed 12, and be tuned to that same pitch . . .

Capoing my 12's not a major issue ('cept for some minor tuning adjustments), but to have a shaller-bowl 12-string with a full-size body and a short neck would sound like the HumVee of Mandolins . . . . :cool:
