SguitarM527 Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 is it possible, to convert a guitar with This type of peghead to a twelve string, or will it not work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I know there was a company somewhere down the line that made a 12 string where the headstock had 3 'normal' tuners that stuck out the side, and 3 'classical' style tuners, sticking out the back per side, and the tuners (obviously) were intermingled...that is to say they'd have 1 sideways, 1 out the back, 1 sidways, 1 out the back, etc...

jbkim Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Didn't Rickenbacker (sp?) do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeB Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 ive seen jacksons with the tuners on the body, 6 of the tuners, behind the bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Mahogany with all that missing wood; it's not up there with the strongest necks, for sure. And if it's got a classical type body, the addition of 6 extra strings could really cause problems or weird stuff. PLUS, is this the nylon stringed guitar, you want to switch to steel strings ? From 6 nylon to 12 steel ? Uh oh. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJohn Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 I think Hipshot had a kit out a few years back(they still might) for this type of conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Some LSR tuners set up ric style would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaguar13 Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 What if it was a regular headstock, are the 12 string tuners closer together, or would you still have to move 6 of them to somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
