Hello. I just got done building this a few weeks ago and I figured some people may find it interesting. It is a 14 string with a rickenbacker style tuning key configuration. The neck and fretboard are ziricote, and the body is claro walnut. If you have any questions or if you would like one built for you feel free to send me a message. I hope y'all like it.

The pics aren't working for me, sorry.

Edit: Copy/pasting them into a link works fine, though. That thing looks pretty cool. Do you have any vids or sound samples of it?

This is quite interesting here... And, unlike Ross, I quite like the headstock. Keeps it from being the gigantic paddle most double-course string instruments have.

This is a really nice build, love the classic look and wood selections :agreed:
I would suggest a headstock slimmin in a bit for less string spreadings, and a more daring shape matching the body horns, but this likely isn't all too easy with the tuner configurations.

How is it tuned? got some sound clips?
