Oooh, like your thinking!
Its a 12 with equally distinctive pups.
Hmmm.

Harley Benton should be even cheaper and has humbuckers…


Alan Entwistle/Revelation? They have a XII too - but not really a Reissue… just Jazzmaster-inspired. Price-tag would check out though.

Or a Squier XII with Jazzmaster pickups that you plan to change for actual XII pickups?

I know! £275 I couldnt not buy it, Been looking at 2nd hand usually around £400/500.

Feels great on strap but does have a little neck dive when sitting.
Heads up to anyone thinking of getting one. nut is approx 49mm. For me this is very comfy but may be hard work for smaller hands.

Ahhhh, Burns is so NOT on my radar - because they don't show up very often here were I live... or at least not in my search-agents yet.
Congrats!

Internet buy, reissue of a model ive neither owned nor played.
If I like the feel il be selling the brand specific pickups, swapping out the bridge and possibly give it a total rewire.

Done..

Not to shabby to say that the flatwork was savaged from my early XII pup experiments.
