Is the string spacing on the BMI SD 12 string the same between the strings as the BMI SD 10 string? Im thinking it is the same but dont know for sure. Thanks Roger

This answer comes without specific knowledge, just my own logic and thinking, or what passes for such.

To use a different spacing would require a completely different changer finger, and it'd be a whole lot easier to use the same fingers, just two more of them on a longer axle.

Most 12s I've played use the same spacing: otherwise they'd have felt strange underhand.

I'd see no advantage in a different spacing, and a PITA to make it happen.

Roger,
String spacing is the same.
