Here is the actual spacing on a 12 string made by Bozo Paduvac that I was
lucky enough to examine several years ago. These measurements are a great
place to start to adapt to your design. Good luck!

For those of you that have built 12 strings, how do you space the strings at the nut. I am using a 1 7/8 nut. Thanks Andy |

Andy - If you complete a 12 string, would you mind posting some of the major differences you ran into versus a 6 string? I imagine my next will be a 12. I presume the bracing is heavier (but how?). The string spacing was also something I wondered about. What about neck construction - anything special there? Good luck on your project! |

Jay Do a search in the archives about 12 strings on the forum and you will find a thread that talks about the differences in bracing etc. Andy |
