I've always wanted a 12-string but didn't fancy a 335 shape this time round. I have a Strat and a Tele, so I thought a JM style might be nice for the job.
Adam was very helpful in sorting out the spec, and I'm pretty impressed that PitBull can do a mix'n'match like this!
Now - can I do it justice with a quality build?
Time for a bit of reading on this forum and checking out YouTube tutorials before getting started...
welcome to the forum RJL, wow that's a mega cool kit, 12 string JM-1
I see it's a tune o matic bridge.
Start a build diary and do a mock build to make sure all 12 tuners fit and how the neck heel fits in the neck pocket. Also check that you have 6 left hand tuners and 6 right hand tuners.
Ask any questions you have there and start sanding !
Looks like a basswood body. Should look fine stained or solid paint, whatever your plans are
Great Kit Rjl not seen this build before so be interesting. Good luck have fun.
oooooh......ahhhhhhhhh........drooooool
:)
Thanks for the tips - all advice gratefully received - will make a start this weekend!Quote:

Welcome RJL. You won't regret having a 12 string in your collection.
It looks like the factory drilled the tuner holes much better than they did on my 12 string ST-1, but with that headstock they could use the template for the double neck.
Mate, that is one sweet custom job!
I guess you'd call that a Gibuar or a Jazzson. Either way I look forward to this build progressing.
