Player's Perspective Music Store Live is proud to present this 1966 Fender Electric XII! If you are looking for THE hit making vintage electric 12 string guitar then look no further friends. This is IT! With almost unbelievable playability, this '66 Fender Electric XII takes the cake for electric 12 strings we have encountered. The way the strings are spaced, the resonance of the body, the neck profile and the amazing sonic possibilities all work together so well to yield an incredible guitar. The level of playability on this vintage Electric XII is almost too much to handle. It plays wonderful in every position. The neck is straight, the action is low and the intonation is dialed in. There are no issues, just killer tone, feel and playability. Put this axe to work! Item Details Fender first introduced this guitar in late 1965, making this an early production model. It was designed to capture some of the folk-rock market at the time and while it didn't enjoy tremendous success while it was around until 1970, it certainly made it's mark. The Fender Electric XII was played by Jimmy Page on Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven", by Jeff Beck on "Beck's Bolero" and extensively by Pete Townsend on The Who's "Tommy" album - and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Other notable users of this axe include Eric Clapton, Lou Reed, Johnny Winter and Tom Petty.

Serial # 129659 Overall Condition This 1966 Fender Electric XII is in excellent condition. The body shows a low number of small finish chips and some buckle worming on the back.
