My 1966 Fender XII 12-String Electric. She plays and sounds amazing. I bought it from a vintage guitar dealer in S. Florida at a guitar show and have owned it and played it in our studio a few times over the past 10 years.  Straight neck, clean fret board and all electronics work perfectly. All the tuners are in great shape and the guitar stays in tune very well.
Designed by , the Fender Electric XII was introduced in late 1965 with the bulk of the production taking place in 1966 before it was discontinued around 1970. Unlike its competitors' electric 12-string models which were simply existing 6-string guitars with six extra strings, the Fender Electric XII was a purpose-built 12-string designed to capture a part of the folk-rock market. The bridge has an individual saddle for each string making precise intonation possible.
