CROSS XII C-BIRD Build
I haven't been able to take on many projects for people at the moment but occasionally
I'll take one on if it's something challenging and a bit different for me.
So I'm building this 12 string C-Bird.
Alder body.
Parchment pickguard. Cut for XII pickups, most likely Curtis Novaks.
12 string Gotoh bridge.
Started off with the MDF templates. cut to scale.

This looks so much higher in quality than my Thunderbird with a Dano XII neck! I gotta finish that thing...

I don't know whether this was your idea's or theirs, but either way, it's fantastic. Can't wait to see this come together.

Re: CROSS XII C-BIRD Build
It was not my idea.
Wasn't sure if I wanted to build this at first but the more research I did on the design, the more I loved it.
Plus it works well with my headstock design.

I guess I never posted a done photo but here it is pre-paint. I did it in Hampstead Green from Duplicolor. I really don't know how to do a fret job and it sorely needs one.
