I am beginning with building me a new steel in a few weeks that comes with a extended E9th on the front neck with 5x5 and a C6 on the back neck with5x2.Is there someone that have seen such a steel before and maybe have pictures of a steel like this?
I am very interested in pictures.If you have them and would like to share them with me then please e-mail me.If you would like some more info about this steel feel free to mail me.

Ron, that's a great idea, I have always thought it would be the ultimate versatile setup - extended E9th and C6th. (For those of us who don't fancy a Double 12. Ed Fulawka has an example on his website, and of course Buddy Emmon's new JCH is the otherway round - 12 string on the C6th neck.

Might be that I change the set-up a little bit.Maybe a U12 on the front neck and a C6 on the back neck.
Haven't made up my mind yet.Don't know if the weight will be to much.Just have to wait and see i guess.

Ron,
Have you played extended E9th? A while ago I thought this was the way I wanted to go but after trying a Sho~Bud S-12 with an extended E9th tuning, I changed my mind. I guess I'm just too old to get used to the feel of those extra two strings. I couldn't find the right strings to pick. I asked Bill Rudolph w/Williams Guitars about a combination 12 and 10 string guitar and he would have built one for me but I had him build me a straight D-10 instead.

Ahoi, Ron.
Good idea; but are you making an S-12 too?
Groetjes,

Ron-Why not just get a standard D12 and take off 2 strings on one neck if you want.?? Just a thought.....al

Nice thought.But I like to build my own steel guitars.And this way I can build it the way I want it.And if I bought a D12 I would have to make modifications.
The way that I am building this one I don't have to make um.
I also like to use different kinds of wood and steel aloys on this one.
It is just another experiment that came to mind.But I think that this one will make it.
This will be my personal steel when it is ready.It will not be for sale.Could be that it works out great.When it does I probably make more of these guitars.
