This is what will be happening to the 12-string ST-1 once I finally get up to that stage.

sacrilege Ponch, I'm a big fan of tremelo's. Think of all the extra weight you added for no reason hahha

Ha Ha Woks, I did use the best tonewood for the block though so transfer of vibrations from the steel block to the body should be maximised for best tone lol

Yep, 12 string detuner would be a right pain the #@!%. Enough trouble getting them tuned let alone using one of those devices originally created more than half a century ago.

Bone nut installed and adjusted. Neck relief and action done. Action nice and low (just over 1mm @ 17th fret)

Now need to sort out the input jack and intonation. Already feels heaps better to play.

looking good Ponch, be keen for a sound demo after your upgrades

Scratchy Pots....

My electronics upgrade maybe just around the corner.

Existing tone pots dead. It sounds like I'm crushing cockroaches in them..

This is the sound unplugged, not amplified! I'll still upload a demo. I think I'm just getting the raw single coil in each switch position now. Sounds good Lol.

use some reverse delay and reverb then bang the f**k out of the trem and it'll add some nice ambiance to the intro of a song :)

wow Ponch those tone pots sound terrible, and the axe wasn't even plugged in !
You sure a small cockroach didn't crawl into each one and die ? hahah
