12 string Mavis

12 string Mavis

The Tallest Mule. When doing something new do you wait until the grand reveal or let people in on the secret? Marketing strategies be damned… here’s a 12 string Mavis with soundboard back in the works for @surfburst He needed a sword in the stone to pull musical impossibilities from so here we go… all 12 strings of it. Soundboard back? I was playing a Mavis one day and thought about the thinner area of the body under the sound well might be acting like a soundboard. That idea combined with YOUR feedback about loving to play the Mavis acoustically even though it’s a solid body guitar. So I planed the body to the sound well and set a roasted spruce back on shims around the perimeter. So the back is free floating. 12 strings of fury getting pumped through a resonator cone and then banging into a spruce soundboard? It’s gonna be cool.
