I need some help/advice building a Tele 12 string. I have a stock Fender AVRI 52 Tele body. I'm going to order a 12-string neck from USA Custom Guitars. I've dealt with them already and feel they make a superior neck..(unless anyone feels that Warmouth is equal quality/cheaper/better???)
Here's my question. Should I stay with a 7.25" radius (as this will be mostly an "open chord" guitar) or go with a 9.5"?
I need a bridge. Ideally, I'd like to use a vintage style back load bridge. Does anyone make a combo strings-through/top load bridge? Could I drill out the 6 top-load string holes?
Any other help/suggestions/parts for sale ( I need all HW and parts..I only have the body right now) this project, would be appreciated.
Dave
