    First build: BG-46 4/6 12-string conversion

    Whelp, I done jumped into the deep end. I decided I wanted to learn more about guitars, so I'd do that by building one. Don't ask why. And of course because I am a moron, I chose not to start off with something simple and straight-forward to teach myself, instead I'd go all out and make something exactly to my specifications, and as unique as I could make it. Thus, Fielova Frankenstein (Frankie for short) was concieved. All-out here, means doubleneck bass/6 string, mostly because I already have enough 6 strings. However, I did not stop there. I decided I wanted a 12 string too, so, why not both? Easier said than done it turns out but whatever. Now here I am, BG-46 body, some cheap random made in china neck from ebay that looked cool, a gold lipstick neck humbucker and a slightly less gold bridge P90 because why not, and some other odds and ends I don't remember the name of off the top of my head, to be replaced as soon as the parts I actually want come in stock.
