    Tweaky, 12 string STs and TLs are available as a custom option. I am currently (and very slowly) building a 12 string ST kit that Adam got for me. I think from memory it was $50 over standard price, but I ordered it over a year ago and the pricing structure has changed a bit this year.

    My very out-of-date build thread is below.

    Props to Adam for listening to our wishes. At this time of year you could change your avatar to santa as these equal to some sort of presents to a lot of people...

    Peaceful christmas time for everyone!!

    More modifications / variations on pre-existing kits, but is there any possibility for selecting different woods to the normal? I may have just missed this topic at another point though. A lot of the kits seem to have basswood bodies but there are a few I've seen with others. Would love the opportunity to do closer replicas of certain guitars.

    Hi SGriffiths, welcome to the forum.

    What kit and what timber type did you have in mind ?

    Quite a few of the common kits as well as basswood the TL comes in alder and ash. The ST comes in ash. The LP comes in mahogany with flame maple or spalted maple veneers. There is close to 100 kits to choose from

    Wow, great response time! Thinking of maybe an SG or PRS style with mahogany bodies?
