1966 Fender Electric XII from The Plant Studio

Just spotted: this amazing vintage 12-string Electric XII guitar.

It is sold by an eBayer with serious tenure and feedback so I feel he can be trusted when he claims that this gutar comes from the closets of the "Plant Records of Sausalito recording studio, aka The Plant".

At roughly $3,600 as of writing, it is worth considering. There is a trade-off between this Electric XII guitar being not 100% original and quite worn and this guitar having some History (maybe on your favorite LP or song).



To note:



This guitar was modified by the replacement of the original tuners with Grover, changing of the Nut and the String Guide. The Tone Pot with knob was also replaced. (...)

BODY: Standard FENDER ALDER with 3 Shade SUNBURST finish-played to perfection.

NECK. Stock FENDER neck with small frets with Brazilian Rosewood FRETBOARD.

BRIDGE: Stock FENDER.

HEADSTOCK: Super cool Headstock.

TUNERS: The original FENDER tuners have been replaced with GROVE MINI ROTOMATIC which increase the playability, tuning, and performance of this guitar tremendously.

SWITCH: Stock 4 way rotary.

CHROME HARDWARE.

PICKUPS: Has two (2) STOCK FENDER pickups.

CASE IS INCLUDED WHICH IS NOT ORIGINAL FENDER CASE FOR THIS GUITAR.

The cosmetic condition is GOOD . There are MANY nicks, scratches, and scrapes on it.
