Serial CA6J017 - Custom Double Cut 12 string "DC 12" - Finished May '07.
I built this for myself as a proof of concept 12 string. I'm very happy with the
results. If you've wanted a 12 string electric in some configuration that just doesn't
exist on the market, there's a way to get it. This is simply one example.
SPECIFICATIONS:
BODY: Hand made at Onyx Forge - Classic double cutaway made from a single piece
of Tiger Maple. Sculpted heel; belly contour; translucent dark green under gloss
nitrocellulose lacquer; custom undyed "binding" stripe; translucent black
Quilted Maple pickup rings; through body stringing for 6 strings, the other 6 are
terminated at the back of the bridge; staggered recessed vintage recessed string ferrules;
all screws are polished 18-8 stainless steel; chrome knobs with Abalone tops; recessed
Dunlop Straplocks and Electrosocket jack cup.
NECK: Hand made at Onyx Forge - Solid Spalted Flame Maple with dual carbon fiber reinforcing
rods; 12" radius Ebony fretboard; 25" scale; all natural under gloss nitrocellulose
lacquer; "C" profile with rolled edges; Onyx
Forge 6 / 6 headstock; stainless steel medium jumbo frets; .25" round Paua Abalone fret
markers with black Mother of Pearl at 12th fret; white side dots; natural Quilted
Maple truss rod cover; 18:1 ratio Grover locking tuning machines; zinc alloy threaded inserts for
strength and outstanding sustain; Paua Abalone Onyx Forge logo on headstock;
double action truss rod; 1 3/4" nut width; custom laminated Slipstone & brass
alloy nut.
ELECTRONICS: Stewart-MacDonald Golden Age humbucker in the bridge, coupled with
a Fender Vintage Tele Custom Shop neck pickup. Master volume and tone. The volume is a push /
pull that splits the bridge pickup when pulled. Pickup output is switched via a
balance / blend pot. All pockets, channels and back of control cover are
coated with grounded electroconducting paint to silence unwanted interference. Single
core contiguous wire through 3 or more lugs for nearly bullet proof connections.
Outstanding tonal range, absolutely unique, and fun to play.
