Gassing for a 12-string. Thinking about one of these Italias, but I'm not sure I love the clownburst. Or black. Or candy red.

I'd try to find one with a fully adjustable bridge, ie separate intonation for all 12 strings. I think the newer Fender ones and the Danelectros support this. Otherwise tuning can be a real challenge.

Lol, I’m such a dad sometimes. Re color, knock yourself out. But not clownburst.

Added myself to the King of Tone waitlist. It'll be fifty years until I get a build slot. Probably change my mind in the meantime.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
