Fender / Electric XII / 1966 / Lake Placid Blue / Guitar For Sale
Stunning Lake Placid Blue 1966 Fender Electric XII
This guitar has a wonderful patina and only a few minor knocks on the front. The finish still has a wonderful lustre both front and back. There are very feint signs it has had Kluson tuners on it at some stage (no marks on front) but you have to look hard!
The neck is likewise glossy free of any major wear.. The fretboard looks great and there’s plenty of life left in the frets.
The iconic ‘hockey stick’ headstock has, like the body, stayed clear of any real damage and looks so good with the all original Fender logo.
The hardware is in great shape, no corrosion or discolouration.
The pickguard and the other plastics have been well looked after Electronically everything is correct and all the solder joints look undisturbed.
The guitar comes with a correct Black Tolex Fender hardshell case.
There is a good reason why this guitar was the go to studio 12 string when it was introduced. The feel of the neck and the action are just a joy and the instrument has such a vibrant tone when played acoustically. The tonal scope offered by the split coil pickups is always surprising, making the job of coaxing out a variety of lush sounds a dream.
Another rare shade in such fantastic condition, this Fender Electric XII is one of the best we have ever seen. These guitars never stay with us for very long, which is a great shame as we love having them around, so if you’ve been hankering after one then now's your time!
