I love Rondo Music's willingness to build every drat thing under the sun but I'm really drawing a blank on who the target market for a fretless 12-string guitar would be.

Make that thing 30" scale and now we're talkin'

Sometimes I wonder if Nile is death metal's Spinal Tap.

(The problem of course is that extreme metal is already so ridiculous that you can't really parody it, Impaled Northern Moonforest-style silliness aside.)

It's currently tuned B-Ab (which I think is kind of bullshit because Ab above guitar high E is hard enough to get to not snap on fender scale) but I'll be tuning it F#-B-E-A-D-G-C-F-Bb-Eb. .174 gauge to .008 or .009.
