A long time ago I had a Fender Stratocaster XII 12 string electric guitar, one of the original versions with a Fender Electric XII style bridge. I never had to do any work on the intonation or action before I sold it to my cousin. Which is a good thing because I'm not Mr. Mechanical. But I'm sure it would be a lot easier to work on than a classic Rickenbacker twelve string. Today I came across a pair of videos from Edmonton's Big Earl discussing his adventures changing the bridge on his Rickenbacker 12 string. Boy, talk about a lot of work! And he's not a gigging musician on the road with one. Watch the videos, and then imagine having to restring one every day, as gigging musicians often do, or if they're really lucky their guitar tech does.
