Fender XII - year 1965

1965 Fender XII in fair to low condition. The good stuff, it sounds amazing. The bad stuff, well it's in dire need of a clean up. This is a road warriors guitar. It's seen some action. Feels amazing to play with a superb neck shape and the beautiful feeling wood grain. Comes with gig bag
Famous for its distinct "hockey-stick" headstock and use on recordings like Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven", an original 1965 model generally sells on the vintage market between $9,000 and $14,000+ AUD depending on condition and finish. 
Key Features & Design Body: Offset alder body styled similarly to the Jazzmaster and Jaguar, offering ergonomic arm and tummy contours. Headstock: Oversized "hockey-stick" shape designed in-line to fit all 12 tuning machines. Pickups: Dual split single-coil pickups (similar in concept to a Precision Bass pickup) that cut hum and maintain chime. Switching: 4-way rotary/varitone selector switch providing neck, bridge, both in-series, and both out-of-phase configurations. Bridge: Innovative 12-saddle string-through-body hardtail bridge allowing precise, individual intonation adjustment for every single string
