Hi all, I have returned for round three and to try my hand at a semi hollow 12 string this time. I’ve never played or owned a 12 string but I’m in it for the challenge of the build and learn something new. This kit comes with a mahogany back and sides so I don’t know if I’m going to stain . I might go a bit redder, but the neck is maple and don’t know wheather to go natural or try to stain the same as the mahogany. I am also thinking about some radical change to the top and add some mahogany there as well. Early days yet as it’s only just arrived,wish me luck.
