Re: Fender Alternate Reality Electric XII 12-String
The price in CDN will be sick, but I see this happening for me. I’ve been wanting a 12 string for a couple years. Likely in the summer when work slows down. Maybe by then I can score a used one too

I can already envision OSG coming up with rotary switch mods, stereo mods, Spitfire tort, etc...

Not me. Any Offset that comes in LPB can stop right there and I'll be happy.Jaguar018 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 11:45 amI already see OSG quibbling about the shape and then wanting different colors.invisible man wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 11:06 amI can already envision OSG coming up with rotary switch mods, stereo mods, Spitfire tort, etc...
It comes in more than red/white/black/sunburst, so it's already ahead of most of the offerings of the last 10 years.

Kind of hilarious that they practically traced the bridge plate that I designed like ten years ago.

Re: Fender Alternate Reality Electric XII 12-String
As excited as I am for these, I noticed the shape being off almost immediately. For some reason it makes me think of a chubby shark but I'm sure we'll see more vintage-speced iterations of the xii in the upcoming months/years. This is great news all around, I'm jonesing that LPB pretty bad...

Re: Fender Alternate Reality Electric XII 12-String
I’m fairly confident that someone from Fender’s R&D team lurks here, and probably most other guitar centric forums. This, among many other “coincidences,” would lead me to believe that a theory suggesting that their “research” mainly consists of harvesting ideas from these boards would not be entirely unfounded.Stereordinary wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 11:58 amKind of hilarious that they practically traced the bridge plate that I designed like ten years ago.

Man, I caught some shit at home last year for grabbing one of the CIJ Strat XII's. Had I known this was coming I would've waited.

Re: Fender Alternate Reality Electric XII 12-String
What’s with the bridge? Does it have full 12 string intonation adjustment? If it does the intonation in the picture is way off! Unless they are just renders..

It looks like one of these (or something close) in a curved surround -

So I think it has 12 saddles on there, six main ones with six little sliders piggy backing on them.

Re: Fender Alternate Reality Electric XII 12-String
Yeah, why can't Fender make a 12-string with all twelve strings through the body like they used to?
