I'm not sure yet. I think it's a small block. It's what holds the strings. It's definitely thicker than a regular control plate.

By the way. It's weird playing a 12 string. It's like having another guitar player and a synth player.

Double post.

Nice, dude! Very jealous

Now I'm just deciding what to do with it. to build an xii or not.

Congrats!

Omfg YOU DID IT!

You're going to butcher it to make a partscaster XII?

Don't! Squier will release a VM XII the moment you start - remember your Starcaster

Nah. I'm not gonna "butcher" it per say. I am going to get a 12 string gotoh bridge and one of the Rhoney bridge surrounds for it. (The holes match the xii mounting holes perfectly) so it will be a drop in replacement. Meaning the venus will still be a 12 string and look quite the same. And I'll either take the pickups and get a new guard made like the 6 string guard (with a humbucker and single coil) or I'll keep the pickups in it and get Novak pickups for the xii partscaster. It won't be a while until I start the project so I have some time if they decide to reissue the xii. And my starcaster came out way better than the reissue in my opinion.

Hey, congrats! I *love* my XI, hope you keep loving yours too.
