Description:

Fender Electric XII 12-string electric ten made in 1966. It is popular as a 12-string loved by many musicians, such as Jimmy Page's recording of "Stairway to Heaven". Recommended for Jimmy Page fans. It is a rare and valuable model produced for a short period of less than 5 years. It is a stable vintage in good condition. The parts, including the important pickups, are fully original. It is in relatively good condition considering its age. The shape of the body follows the "Jazzmaster", which was a high-end model at the time. The parts are fully original and the color is well preserved and in good condition. The original hard case is also included. The "Electric 12" is characterized by the so-called hockey stick head. The head design, which makes it easy to wind the strings, is also attractive among 12-strings. This model is packed with Leo Fender's amazing ideas, especially in the bridge section. The highly acclaimed bridge structure is an amazing idea that places 12 saddles, each of which can be fully octave adjusted, on the bridge plate, which has a limited area. Five types of saddles are combined, taking into account the radius of the fingerboard and the thickness of the 12 strings, to create a level that is practically acceptable. The string height can be adjusted across the entire plate. The strings are threaded through the back, allowing for a comfortable sustain. The pickups are split into two sets of pickups, one for strings 1-6 and the other for strings 7-12. The pickup selector is a four-position rotary switch near the horn on the 1st string side. It switches between front/front + rear parallel/rear/front + rear parallel phase out. The switch wiring is easy to use, with an image that gradually changes to a brighter sound. The sound is good with a sense of overtones
