Greetings!
I bought some Mosrite parts about 10 years ago and had M3 of California turn them into a guitar.
Exhibit 1:
A few years ago I played someone's electric 12-string and after mulling it over, decided to try and convert this guitar to 12-string. I shopped around for years for a decent neck, and recently bought one.
I think I can find one of the Mosrite-style steel nuts, and I've seen 12-string Mosrite roller bridges around. Other than that, I'll have to come up with a tailpiece.
I'll have the work done by a luthier, and I don't think Mosrite used different pickups, but I admit my research has been half-@#$& on this topic.
Am I forgetting anything?

A excellent luthier to consult regarding Mosrite modifications is Ed Elliot - if you haven't already consulted him. He's on Facebook - I don't see contact info beyond that.

Thanks for the tip! I'll look him up. The guy I considered "my" luthier passed awhile back, and I haven't been to his shop since, so no idea what's going on there.

Thanks for the tip. I tried the email on FB, and got a no-delivery receipt.
Maybe he's gone international...
