I've been kicking around the idea of converting one into a 12-string, w/a
Rick-style headstock, and 6 pin bridge. Maybe a red label FG-150, instead?

Pretty sure the top will cave in from the pressure it was not built for. Go Rodger McGuinn, I have a double G guitar on my bench right now. And a 340 that will be an 8 string.
Have fun, post pictures
