Location: Brisbane Australia | Reading Dan Shafers post made me think.
I know about 12 string Preacher (would love Samova's but a bit skint at the moment), Preacher Deluxe, Deacon (I have one).
Did they ever make a 12 string solid body Viper?
Miles, Beal, Anyone??

Location: enid, ok | Would certainly be news to me. I'm going to say no. At least, I've never seen one in any catalogue or ad that I've run across. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Never a 12-string Viper production model, but some folks built V-12's from parts. You can put a P-12 neck, bridge and saddle on a Viper body.

Location: 6 String Ranch | there were a few customs made but no production units. Glen's bluebirds are an example. There was only 1 UK2 12 made as well, a barnboard(if memory serves correctly) but a few more have been made after the fact. |

Glen's were viper shaped bodies, but were made of urelite on the aluminum frame like the UKII correct?
I've heard there's a bluebird body floating around somewhere that has an ultra neck on it.. I'd love to find it.

Location: SoCal | The problem is in finding a Deacon neck. Woodrow got the last one from the factory and built his BW 12 Ltd (boy, I lusted after that guitar) and then sold it when I had no money. The rest of the parts are available...... |

| I just came back from Howie's and the UKXII is finally wired up, unfortunately one of the pickups phase switches is dead on one side so not going to be as many flavors of tone till that's chased out and fixed if possible. but he assures me final set-up and dressing out will be done by Christmas.
only took a year to get it together.... should have never taken it to Brett.. but hindsight is 20/20
I should have just sent it to Mwoody to begin with.
Thanks to all who helped me in locating the parts.
I'll be posting pics when it's completed.
anyone have a UKII pickup assembly in fully working condition?
