olddog Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hi. Does anyone know where I can get an abm tune-a-matic style 12 string bridge? And also where I can get the specs for one? I'd like to get the string spaceing and height before I make the neck. I'd also like to find a nut, so I can have a starting point.

Acousticraft Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Im pretty sure Stewart MacDonald does a 12 string Strat type and Tuneomatic. They will have nuts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j. pierce Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Allparts carries a tuneomatic style 12 string bridge, with separately intonatable saddles for each string. I've got a cheap 12 string electric that just used a standard tuneomatic bridge, slotted for two strings on each saddle. It works fairly well, although it took a bit of fussing around to get the intonation workable, it's a bit of a balancing act between the bass and octave strings. Still not perfect, but good enough for rock and roll. I think at some point I may mill my own saddles, at least one for the G string pair, to get the intonation more spot on, but for now, this works well. Just an option.

ooten2 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) Check out ebay. I found several tusq pre-slotted 12 string nuts. Also, universaljems has 12 string bridges. http://cgi.ebay.com/ABM-12-String-Tunemati...oQQcmdZViewItem Edited May 8, 2007 by ooten2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olddog Posted May 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Thanks for the input. I found the bridge, and a lot of tusq nuts, but I couldn't find a 12 string one( on e-bay). What are they listed under? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooten2 Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I bought one from this guy and was happy with the purchase. There are a couple of different 12 string nuts here. Now you gotta post pictures of your build. http://search.stores.ebay.com/Scott-Harris...0000793QQsofpZ0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
