Of course! Why would anyone do otherwise?

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback! Ive based the majority of the design on my existing neck, I figure worst possible scenario I scrap the doubling and just go with the existing 6. I should note that for the side tuners that mortice goes all the way through the headstock, eliminating the aforemention...

Cool, thanks!
Does this work?

No... Please do, thats what Im here for... Id rather get torn apart and succeed!
Here is an actual size drawing I did of what I'm thinking May throw a string tree in the middle for the far pair, just for posterity's sake...

Oooops, this is correct...

Another thing...
I was planning on doing the headstock Fender style and not at an angle... I felt this would prevent the issues mentioned above.

Thanks...
I went and used D'Adarrio's tension tool and it looks pretty ok...

What did you mean by "the right thickness"?

Just got a response from GHS:
"Our plain steel guitar strings are 42" long, and our wound guitar strings are 38" winding length with a 40" overall length. That's standard for all of our guitar strings, not just the GBTNT set. "
Im sure that will be fine...

Interesting question...
Ive always used TNT GHS Boomers for guitar and the Fender Bass VI strings on it prior.
I am doing the headstock Rickenbacker style so they wont get stupid long, but I see your point...

I will be using planet waves tuners on all strings... they work fine for all the strings.

OK, so... I have a Gretsch G5265 Jet (Bass VI tuning) with a broken neck I decided that I want to make it a 12 string (doubled 6 string eEaAgGdDbBeE) I reshaped the body http://www.damonp.com/D12/CutBodyThumb.jpg Made a neck laminate out of Black Limba|Walnut|Black Limba Going to use Wenge for the f...

Im surprised its not used all the time!

How is it to work with?

Im also considering using acrylic pen blanks for inlay material...

NICE!

I am considering Bocote

Part of the reasoning for all of this is that Im looking for a nice deep tone overall....

Bryan,
Gibson seems to think its OK: http://www.gibson.com/Products/Acoustic ... ought.aspx

Are there any other concerns I should consider?
This is my first attempt
