| If you have the Williams U12 or S10 wide body can you tell me how wide the body is on the changer side. |

| Brad, thanks. I would think the 12 string uses the same body based on the pictures I've seen. |

| Does any one know the width of the 12 string body? If it's the same as Brad's that's only 1/4" wider than my U12. Not what I would call a wide body. I was thinking it may be 2 or 3 inches wider. Is the wide leg stance why it's called a wide body? |

| Hey Bob, It is a compromise deal, less wide than a D-10, more wide than an S-10. The leg stance is the same as a D-10 so you have the same stability as the D-10 but with less weight than the D-10...I like the concept and it is the best of both worlds, IMHO. I have mine now for 4 months and have not broken any strings...it has a great changer design and Bill Rudolph holds the patent on it. When changing strings you do not have to hold the ball end on a pin, you just thread it through the hole..what a great idea....can't tell you about the 12 stringer...give Bill a call. |

| Hey Bob, if you go 2 to 3 inches wider than 8 and 1/4, you will be in the D-10 range...my D-10 Mullen is 10 and 7/16 inches wide. |

| When I think of a "wide body" single neck steel, I think of a Zum ...They are a bigger bodied steel , and I think that is a really big part of the tone...Jim |
