I finally got my first 12 banger finished this weekend. Top is Lutz from Shane, back and sides are IRW and neck is Hinduras Mahogany. Fretboard binding is maple and the rosette is New Zealand paua. The finish is French Polish.

The sound is a big dreadie sound but its tonally balanced...not too overpowering in the bass and the treble comes through nicely.

That's one sweet 12 string Martin.!
Of course I love the rosette ! [:Y:] . and the binding treatment around the neck and headstock.

It's a joy playing a 12 string with a fully compensated saddle as you've done here.

Great work Martin. I'll bet you find this one hard to part with

Cheers mate
