Well almost. I need to intonate and do a lot of set up work!!!
Here are the details

12 string OLF SJ 25.5 - Mikes Plans, my bracing
Quilted Sapele B & S - Zootman
Lutz top - Shane
Pearl rosette etc....Andy DePaule
Shaller Mini Tuners Gold with Ebony Knobs
Finish - Tony F What can I say!!!!!!!!
Even though I have never been a fan of bursts, I like it on this one. A light burst. I still haven't decided on the pickguard   clear vs Tortis.   I have a Tortis on the way from LMI.
Thanks for looking

That is a great job.  Who makes the letters you have inlaid on the fretboard? Great job inlaying them. I like the way they have different shading as well.

Zip a dee do da, Doc!! That is outstanding. You did a great job on the rosette inlay and I love gold Schallers with ebony buttons. Nice look and nice craftsmanship all around. Nice details. I love it, Andy!

The burst looks great Andy.

I'm not a big fan of them but this is very nice.

Beautiful work.

How's it sounding?

Cheers

Andy, You Dog!  That is really great.  It is the best looking burst I have seen.  I thought there was something cloudy in the finish in the first shot, but then I realized it was the reflection of your white shirt after looking at the others.  Fine looking 12 string.  Man - he shot a burst on the back of the neck too.  How cool is that?

Stunning ANDY!
I belive I seen this one a week ago this past Saturday at TFs? I think that neck was sitting next to mine. OR do you have yet another 12 stringer at Tonys?

Andy that is really stunning. I've always been a fan of bursts that let the grain show through. Would you call that a honey burst?

WOW Andy!


Nice guitar !!!! I love the inlays also. The tuner arrangement just seems to fit nicely too. VERY nicely appointed.

Andy, that is one sweet 12'er!

My opinion on the pickguard, for what it's worth, is go clear.
Then again, I'm not a fan of a pick guard aesthetically speaking, so if it's for
function the clear will get the job done plus keep that beautiful finish for all
to enjoy.

PS. I got this left leg here that I don't use all too often...if you're in need and
lookin' for a trade I'm all about the barter system

A Kidney and a left leg.....
I haven't even played it yet. The strings are on, but no tension yet. I want the bridge to cure until tomorrow.

Thanks

Great work Andy
I really like the shading on the neck and the way it matches the binding. Excellent touch. The burst works with this and the dog theme is great. Pretty job.

Top notch Andy ! .

How do you intend to intonate the saddle ? The Alan C. Method ?


Cheers Craig

I am in the process of intonating each string individually.
I use a 3/16th wide saddle
