Excellent, if you make this, probably I would buy one.AaronXII wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 8:15 pmI think I'm going to make some Pickguards.

Here is mine, the same with the original buttons but a rotary selector. I would like a white pickguard on it, to match my Johnny Marr Jaguar Olympic White.prospect wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 9:18 am
Got mine this week! The setup was terrible, but after a restring and some time adjusting the neck and bridge - I got it dialed in nicely. Only other change was the knobs. Neck is a bit thin for my taste (feels Ibanez-ish) but I got a Stratocaster XII coming in tomorrow, and hopefully that neck feels better to me.
For anyone else looking, Shubb do a 12-string capo.Severed Hand wrote: ↑Sat Jun 13, 2020 10:14 amAnyone have suggestions for a good capo for these guitars?

Some good options on there- along with some horribly offensive ones!burpgun wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 6:50 amHey folks, you can get a replacement pick guard for your AR XII now, in just about whatever color scheme you want. Wavering between black and pearloid for my white XII. https://www.wdmusic.com/wd-custom-pickg ... tails.html
I tried it. Sounded and felt really nice. Honestly as a 6-string it just kind of sounds like a much less noisy Jazzmaster. The really wide fretboard helps deal with the string spacing issues that some JMs have.X-Ray Spex wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 8:33 amSo is anyone playing these as a 6 string yet? Always loved the pickups and the shape but 12 strings is just 6 too many for me.
Good to know it's a viable option, I wonder if there'd be any long term issues for the truss rod from the lack of tension.bessieboporbach wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 7:30 amI tried it.

There's no reason, once the TR is set for 6 strings, it should not move.X-Ray Spex wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 7:34 amGood to know it's a viable option, I wonder if there'd be any long term issues for the truss rod from the lack of tension.bessieboporbach wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 7:30 amI tried it.

$29 for the pickguard, $103 for shipping, are they crazy ?burpgun wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 6:50 amHey folks, you can get a replacement pick guard for your AR XII now, in just about whatever color scheme you want.

If anything it's probably better for the neck in the long term. 12-strings of all kinds are notorious for developing unfixable bows over the years.X-Ray Spex wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 7:34 amGood to know it's a viable option, I wonder if there'd be any long term issues for the truss rod from the lack of tension.bessieboporbach wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 7:30 amI tried it.
