    Fretty that is going to be a nice build
    dont know what the string tension effect from twelve strings would be, but on my old strats I used 5 springs with a cheap 5 string claw screwed all the way onto the body and you couldn't budge the bridge from hard down on the body.

    That's one option, but I will probably still wedge it to make the bridge super solid. Its going to be hard enough tuning and intonating a 12 string without the added complication of a whammy bridge.
