Does anyone have some guidelines for 12 string spacings? My StewMac spacing rule doesn't have any info on 12 ers. Any suggestions, links and / or pictures would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

The last one I did Tim I simply put the outer strings in from the FB edge as usual .. then give the two Es top and bottom about 2 (e)-2.5 (E) mm spacing from its pair .. then the string gauge does the rest for each group of 6. Nut width was 1 7/8
