oh, gawd, I just saw the 12 string version of my Framus acoustic. Neck's broke at both ends, but I would give it exactly the treatment I gave mine. . I had resigned myself to the Seagull and went to get it, but thankfully it was gone, and then I saw this one, it's a little more money, but it's half what the last one like it was, and I was cussing myself out for missing that one.. The thing is I have a 12 string, I put together like that, but it's plywood, a composite body, I'll cannibalize it for the neck and the bolt on plate and screws, and the one I found has a better fretboard and tuners. I'll have to make another block. . I just hope I can relax, take my time with it, abuse my hands a little less. . I mean I haven't got it yet. It would be cool to have a matching set. 💜 . UPDATE: they accepted! Looking forward. I always forget to copy all the pics in the ad before I buy, now the ad's gone. . /1 #Guitar #Framus12StringProject #Guitar

Well, I have my summer project, something to do while I dehydrate, get ready for another thread of amateur luthiery. . Big plans to do what I haven’t quite yet: for starters I’d like to get the neck off without splitting one side, I’ve done that with both of my Framuses, acoustic and electric. On the electric I chiseled the old joint out and on my acoustic I did that too the first time. This time it was my first block to remove and I did that with water, and the whole joint had been exposed and reset before so I could open it up some, rebuild what I had destroyed the first time. . That doesn’t look to be the case with this one, I think the top is intact and of coarse I’d like to keep it that way, so there’s no access inside for deconstruction, I think I’ll have to leave the internal part of the old joint in, just saw the neck off from the outside and somehow build around the internal part of the joint for my block. . I want some playdough or something with which I can take 3D impressions of the inside. . /2 #Guitar #Framus12StringProject
