I saw that Krist Noveselic picture when it appeared in rolling stone a while ago and wanted that color combo on a XII ever since! Def my favorite color combo on any Guitar. Post some pictures when it's done you lucky Dog.

Did I ever tell you I tried to buy a XII on ebay once and it was a scam. That sucked...didn't get my cash though.

:( uggh that sucks.. good thing you didn't lose your money though. I almost got scammed on an old SG Custom years ago and luckily only lost about $60, could've been much much worse

I've decided to refinish this one ice blue metallic.. I love black and that pic shows how great it can look on a XII but I've decided to go with something difference since the '59 JM clone I'm going to build will also be black and I just can't stop looking at the IBM XII dressing room pic  :?

Look at this...  yet another one of the maroon meatball guards on an eBay XII.  Looks almost exactly like mine and yours Justin.

I don't get it  ???

but the headstock doesn't look right, it's really light and the angle of the decal is the opposite of every other one I've seen

Looks refinished with some bum positioning on the repro decal.

yeah, I agree...it's the positining of the decal that makes it look weird.
