Today we have a beautiful 1966 Candy Apple Red Fender Electric XII, 12 String Solid Body Electric Guitar in its original black tolex hard shell case! - This is a truly beautiful custom-color example of a Fender Electric XII, finished in the flashy and always-popular Candy Apple Red metallic lacquer. While not one of Leo Fender's best-remembered creations the Electric XII is nonetheless is a superbly engineered, great-sounding and extremely practical 12-string. Introduced at the July 1965 NAMM Show at the dawn of the CBS/Fender era the Fender XII married the popular Jaguar/Jazzmaster style offset body to a new 12-string neck with a distinctive extended "hockey stick" headstock. The neck itself is typically Fender; slim and very comfortable. These are often considered the best-playing electric 12s of the 1960s, and with good reason. Custom color examples like this are fairly rare, and particularly striking looking guitars with the elongated matching headstock. - - - - #fenderelectricxii #fenderelectricxii1966 #fenderguitar #guitarforsale #fendersofinstagram #candyapplered #vintageelectricxii #fenderelectric12string #fender12string (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqI-zQdOPIf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
