Oooft! That 12 string with the Jaguar neck pickup has my curiosity piqued! The Bass VI looks great too. Did you go for the hard tail for extra tuning stability?

I just never used the trem on bass, figured it wasn't worth replacing with avri bits. The tele xii is getting another cross xii neck, dot and bound. I found some saddles that will make the jm bridge work, so when they get in I will send the whole thing to staytrem for posts that won't sink down.

Cooterfinger working his magic on the cross xii neck

Got the bridge together, once cooter sends back the neck I just have to widen the pocket.

Cooter is the man

Refret for the first time, went smoothly surprisingly

Nice on the refret. And how is the xii neck? Cross built it wider (same as a Venus xii)

Cooter is painting it, once I have that and my 7 string neck back I will get my luthier to rout the neck pockets, no way am I touching them myself

Hopefully this time I won't gash my finger open before you get down here, lol

I was gutted you beat me to that neck tho I'm sure it'll end up on some great build!

Way to kick ass on the refret, dude! I'm still too intimidated to try that on anything, including my homemade Chinese LP Junior kits, let alone a vintage Fender neck 
Super boss.
Did you do an medium jumbo or something? They look big and shiny.

They came with the neck, they look close to stock but not 100% sure. I did it with my luthier buddy so I knew if I REALLY fucked up someone could help fix it. One note, filing fret ends made for some awesome blisters.
The *plan* is running the pickup setup like tele custom, on a brown JM body, with a Bigsby Palm Pedal.
Things still up in the air...
Pickguard like my jazzmaster deluxe or standard jazzmaster
Get another arm for the third string, my Palm pedal only has one and replacements don't exist, so I would need one CNC'd
Replace the decal, neck has been refined at least once, resale value isn't exactly going to be high

The all one angle F Tuners actually don't look that bad. Maybe I will go with them for my second xii build instead of klusons.
