Members hangwire Posted June 19, 2010 Members Share Posted June 19, 2010 $100 for a Japanese 12 string semihollowbody electric with gold foil old timey pickups - but "wiring issues" no control back panel so all repairing by me is through the F holes I think the headstock brand is Regal Artist, but I did not find any similar hits with a google search would you hit it?

Members Saturnine10 Posted June 19, 2010 Members Share Posted June 19, 2010 Standard EADGBE tuning on the normal strings, on the others EADG are tuned up an octave and BE are normal. Easy peasy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IamBurnout Posted June 19, 2010 Members Share Posted June 19, 2010 DADGAD is great on 12 string. Buy the guitar and post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stevemcb Posted June 19, 2010 Members Share Posted June 19, 2010 Buy it! Heard a good tip a few weeks ago for working via the F-holes - taking out the pots etc. tie a long piece of string to the shaft so that you have something to pull the new one back with, and when putting things back, use plastic-coated semi-flexible wire (maybe an old coat hanger?) and some blu-tack to make a tool to attach the pots to and guide them into their place.

Members Zappa74 Posted June 19, 2010 Members Share Posted June 19, 2010 {censored} no. I hate wiring enough... let alone doing it all through some F Holes. Add the fact that it's a 12 string... no thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ronsonic B Posted June 19, 2010 Members Share Posted June 19, 2010 If all the woodwork is solid and uh, yeah. Why not. Nothing wrong with having yet another weird guitar. Besides, wiring F-hole guitars builds character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Padrino Posted June 20, 2010 Members Share Posted June 20, 2010 electric 12 stings are freakin sweet. friend of mine has an old vox model from the late 60s (hurricane?) that just has all sorts of vibe oozing out of it. for 100 bucks, hit it.

Members dap99 Posted June 20, 2010 Members Share Posted June 20, 2010 If you don't mind the DIY aspect, then hell yes! I would totally snag that. Most semi-hollows need "through the f-holes" work, so YEAH! 100 bones? Totally!!! Just get yourself some dental floss and go to town!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IamBurnout Posted June 20, 2010 Members Share Posted June 20, 2010 Use long enough pieces of string, and you can tie it to the new pots to pull 'em right back through the holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
