Albert can you get a closeup shot of the pushing right lever reversing mechanism and linkage? Looks a little different, but hard to see. Thanks!

One Beautiful guitar. Congratulations.
That is the first roller nut setup I have seen on a Keyless Guitar. From the pictures it is a part of the frame for the keyless tuners. Just like most Key Head guitars.
A lot more work machining the roller groves, And making 2 sets of 12 rollers, But may make a big difference in tone.

Great looking Guitar
Albert,,, I also have the Telonics X12 on my recently purchased Williams SD12.
I would suggest you give Dave Beaty a call at Telonics and he will help you adjust the pick up on the C6 neck to your desired tone. He helped me on mine.

Beautiful Guitar & looks like a masterpiece
I'm an ex engineer, so I like machines. This beauty looks to be very well made. Great Color too, that will surely look good on any stage....
One question, how much does it weigh, in & out of it's case?
Are you using one or two cases...?

Olli,
The top neck is a 12 string universal tuning but set up as a super extended E9th. I found that the single neck Universal which has the C-6 pedals (played as a B-6) became overcrowded in the undercarriage set up. Thus having the top neck E-9 the changer was less crowded by having all the C-6 changes on the bottom neck. The extra 2 strings on the C-6 allowed me to get the G and the D on top, which you have to choose between the two on a 10 string. I also decided to put a F note on top as well which became very useful and fun. It allows the same chromatic run that is on the E-9.
