This is quite an odd looking conversion.

Nowhere near as odd as the CS ones, with their droopy sock headstocks.
I'd wonder about long-term strength of the holey headstock on these; otherwise it's a cool solution. A lot depends on the hardness of the individual piece of maple and how cleanly the holes for the extra tuners are made.

I know I often link to books on Amazon and I apologize.
But there is a cool "coffee table" book called "Electric Guitars: The Illustrated Encyclopedia" and it has descriptions and several photos of Fender's historical attempts at building 12-string guitars:

[I'm sure the Fender-only histories go into this as well but this book is a nice brief history of almost every make and model of electric guitar with LOTS of great photos.]
