(Now Better Photos) When Rickenbackers and Gibson Mate

[Riggo-toni]

Just finished building this 12 string. Thought I'd take a pic before it goes out the door. I just wish I had a decent lighting setup to do this justice.

Beautimous!

What's the price tag on that baby?

$1k.
The back is also bookmatched flame maple, and the neck is a 3 piece laminated flame maple. I wish I had some way to capture how deep the look of the grain is on this.

You do beautiful work.

$1k seems to be a steal from here.

Riggo, that looks fantastic my friend!

Hollow body? What are the inlays shaped like?

[Riggo-toni]

Thanks. The inlays are dolphins up to the 15th fret, and then diamonds.
It's a semi-hollow - the sides were sawn out as opposed to bent, and the neck tennon extends all the way to the back of the guitar.

I know diddly over squat about gee-tarrs.

But this one is beautiful, Riggo-toni. Nice work. :)

Riggo -- looks awesome! Where did you learn to do something like that?

Agreed. If the tone matches the look, that is a great deal for that guitar.

Thanks! Books, videos, 2 weeks at a school in Canada...and a lot of trial and error. ;)

From the back.
