12 string bridge

Post by mefgames » Fri Aug 10, 2018 7:02 pm

Does anyone here have a source for a vintage 12 string bridge ? I'm thinking about building one and would like it to be like the 65,66's I used to lust after.

Vintage? Good luck.

There are some repros out there. I used a gotoh 12 string bridge+surround plate for my Fender xii build.

I should have been more specific. I meant vintage replica. I've seen the Gotoh 12 bridge. Looks like the answer. Where did you get the surround plate or did you make it ?

There's a forum member who lives in SE Asia would does XII builds and machines batches of the metal parts including bridges. Ask around in Mods and Projects as I don't remember his name. He posted photos a month or so ago and they looked good. I'm sure he will help you.
