A local guitar shop posted a picture of Tom Petersson from Cheap Trick playing one of his old twelve-strings. It wasn't the twelve strings that interested me, though, it was the pickup configuration and very busy additional control panel at the top of the guitar. Does anyone know anything about this? What's the advantage of the individual horizontal half-pickups for each trio of strings? And what's that control panel all about? It almost looks like a patchbay of some sort in the one picture, but is it an individual EQ for each trio of strings (which, I guess would answer my first question)? Anyone know anything about this bass?
