it wont end up anything like that... it certainly wont have a series of push buttons just above the strings for example, controls will be in a more regular location... and i may just go for 2 angled single coils. still all to be decided

I said maybe.....
i probably would have done something different with the headstock if i made the neck again now. it definitely looks a bit clumsy on this shape body, but i think that will suit the vibe by the time I am done. At first i put the single coil covers on angled and realised i had walked right into surfcaster territory, obviously a slotted 12 string headstock adds to that a bit.
Body is Dark Red Meranti, last guitar i made with it had a zingy acoustic warmth which i think will work well for this. the neck is some really nice black limba with a perfect macasser ebony fretboard... might need to add some inlays though
That bridge was just close to hand, i am thinking it will have a hand made aluminium tailpiece and bridge combo

Re the headstock; could you reshape just the end a little to make it asymmetrical? Or is that even more Surfcastery?
As an aside, those Schaller roller bridges are *BRILLIANT* on Shergolds, Wez... if you pop the original rattly bridge off, these fit very well, cover the old fixing holes and *TRANSFORM* the tone. I was going to do that to the one I sold you...
Cheers for the heads up, I might give that a go.
I was actually looking at the shergold bridge wondering if something like that would work for this project

Definitely a plastic top and back, originally made by an accordion factory, hence the odd control plate and plastics.
I'll be following this with great interest.

How about a trem? Indeed how about a trem for the six higher strings only. Always fancied trying that.
