    I know Adam can custom order 12 string STs and TLs (like my 12 string ST). I don't remember anyone asking for a 12 string LP before.

    (I can image a 12 string LP would be wickedly top heavy)

    You also have to take into consideration the neck width at the nut.

    I've asked about widening necks for 12 string use to 47mm [from standard 43mm] but according to Adam, specific requests get lost in translation with the manufacturer with things like this, go figure.

    Not the greatest thing trying to fret strings that are spaced too close together.
    But then again Rickenbacker players have been doing it for years on 41mm spaced necks, how I don't know.
