Pheo Custom 12-string Electric 2004 White Nitrocellulose


This is a 12-string solid body electric that I built for myself in 2004. I'd always wanted a vintage Fender 12, so I decided to build one. Body is alder with a nitrocellulose finish (nicely age checked). Pickups are P bass pickups activated by the rocker switches. The switches can activate the neck pickups, middle pickups, and bridge pickups separately or in any combination. A few other oddball combinations are also possible. The P bass pickups allow the same hum cancelling structure that the original Fender 12 pickups create. Bridge can be fully intonated. The neck is from a Fender Villager 12-string acoustic with Schaller tuners. It feels just like a vintage Fender electric neck and has very low action (1/16th or less). Truss rod works fine and the neck is straight. Has a bit of hand wear but negligible fret wear. Guitar weighs 7lbs 6oz. $75 fixed shipping, to continental US only. Will ship in a hard case.

New improved sound sample available on Soundcloud on the PheoGuitars14 page.

That is exactly the kind of thing I'd buy if I was in FU money territory.

Actually, I wouldn't buy it because I'd already have custom ordered it.

I'm curious about the organ stops and the extra pole pieces...

Organ stops switch pickups on and off. Extra pole pieces are bad amateur design.

It’s batshit bonkers but I bet Annie Clark could do something amazing with it.

 

[Rick 381]

$1800? I wouldn't give him $180 for it.

Then add accelerant - then a flame source.

The extra pole pieces are disturbing.
I get why they are there, but I disagree that it was the only way to get there.

I don't dislike the overall idea behind the concept.

 

[Modern Saint]

At least the work on that guitar does not include Hot Glue!

 

[Jbird]

Needs gold hardware

 

[Chad]

The neck joint/plate is awesome.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Might buy it convert it to 16 string.

 

[tiger roach]

Revolting! And not in a good way.

 

[Aahzz]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jelloman]

Might benefit from a Viagra...

 

[frunobulax]

7lb6oz of nope.

 

[yabba]

it's not the guitar we need, but the guitar we deserve

 

[Tralfaz]

I actually admire the experimental goofiness of this thing. But two-poles-to-nowhere arrangement is just reitze-level hackery.

The rest of that guy's inventory is... uhhh... interesting.

Well, that's the GPOTD sorted well into 2021.
