Todd C....The string spacing on the SuperSlide can be specified at time of order.

Should one wish to change the spacing or number of strings after they have received their guitar, the SuperSlide offers the advantage of allowing the player to do so quickly and easily.

A small neck can accomodate 6, 7 or 8 strings, and the wider neck can accomodate 9, 10, 11 or 12 strings.

When any transformation is completed, the guitar maintains its factory original appearance.

Reece:
So you're saying that a 12-string can accomodate 3/8" string spacing?

Todd, check this out. I'm sure if any of this info has changed Reece will say so.

Dana D....The link referral by Stephan possibly answered your question.

To further elaborate.....the SuperSlide can accomodate a 3/8 string spacing up to 11 strings. When the 12th string is added the string spacing becomes 11/32. (344)

12-stringer in red mahogany. Reece's C6th tuning - Cobra Coil strings. Awesome!

I have a Superslide double neck, cream with turtleshell pick guard. Wonderful guitar.

Reece,Herb, et al:
I have been planning to buy a 10 string SS, & tune it to C6. I currently play a D-10 pedal steel, and I am certainly not accomplished at the C6 tuning. Would you think that a no pedal steel would help or hinder this task? Any input appreciated.

There are about a half-dozen slants that you'll need to learn to get most dominant, diminished, and augmented triads you'll need to really rock on no-pedal C6. If you learn those first, the pedals that work the C6 on PSG will make MUCH more sense to you.

That's assuming you understand what the slants accomplish chordally, of course; not just the rote movements, but why the slants make the partial chords they do. Therein lies the rub.

Now, if you already have an idea of what the pedals on C6 do, then you've got a definite leg up on learning the non-pedal guitar, since the pedals make all the common slant positions I use on the SupSlide.

Herb,
Ordered mine today! Natural ebony 10 string, C6
Ron

Ordered a 12 string last week!
I have several vintage Fender T8's and D8's. Always wished I had 10 string single. Might as well go for 12.

I also play an SU-12 MSA
