Description
Its full name is Fender Made in Japan Limited Stratocaster® XII, and this recent Strat 12-string is in great condition, sporting an Olympic White finish. Built by Dyna Gakki in Nagano, this is a great guitar and an excellent option for anyone who needs an electric 12-string.
Sold with its original gig bag containing the hang tags.
Fender has made a number of solidbody 12-strings over the years, starting with the Fender Electric 12 built from 1965 to 1969. That model was re-issued a few times but produced the idea of converting a Stratocaster, which Fender did between 1988 and 1996, then 2005 to 2009, and again from 2019.
Construction and Materials
The Made in Japan Limited Stratocaster® XII pairs an Alder body with a standard 9.5 inch radius Maple neck with slab-style Indian Rosewood fingerboard and 21 Marrow-Tall frets. This neck has the truss rod adjustment at the 'traditional' body end, so the pickguard or neck must be removed for adjustment. The "U" neck profile is a bit thicker than a standard six-string Stratocaster to provide extra stability under the increased tension. The headstock is naturally altered to accept two rows of six tuners. There is also a bar with six holes to replace sets of string trees.
This Stratocaster variant is based on a hard-tail Strat body with a custom 12-saddle bridge; six strings go through the body and six through the back of the bridge.
For electronics, three Alnico Vintage-Style Single-Coil Strat® pickups are installed with standard Strat wiring where the bridge pickup is not affected by a tone control.
The finish is Olympic White gloss polyester, though it has a bit of a blue hue. The pickguard is 3-ply mint green that goes really well with the finish.
