Try Steel Guitars of Canada. They bought the Carter inventory when it went up. Al Brisco has them for Carter, not sure if they will work for you.

Only has two rollers on the shaft/axle, but if this will work for you send me a PM and we'll figure out the details.

Hi Brian, Looks like you built yourself into a problem. Needing a exact size 12 string Key Head.

The only 12 String Key Head I have seen that may fill your need is 1 like a GFI Ultra key head.
Here is a picture of my GFI Ultra.



The Nut roller assembly is bolted to the body of the guitar setting against the neck.

Thank you Bobby, I do have an S10 keyhead but really want this to be an s12.
I checked with gfi ut they don’t make that kind you have but it would be ideal.

My MSA Milly and my Studio Pro both had very compact keyheads.

Brian I just checked the GFI home page. They do not offer a 12 string with Key Head, Only Keyless.
I have a keyless S12 and a key Head S12. The Key Head guitar dates back 10 years or so.
The Key Head on the S12 is just squares of aluminum machined for keys. If you need any measurements let me know.
