Is that the bass case that they offer?rank wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 11:39 am
I came across a case company that I like & have bought several cases from. They are good quality, not perfect, but I am also not gigging with it. They're pretty cheap also. The company is called Crossrock. My XII is clearly not an actual Fender but it should be very comparable.

No. Just the regular Jazzmaster case actually. There is a good bit of room past the headstock.

Doesn't seem like they offer that one anymore :/ The bass case is the only one like that they have

I think they are a smaller company (at least for now) & they will make some & then run out. They have some up on Amazon currently. That seems to be where you can usually find them. They make brown/black/tweed variations but all have been out of stock at some point but have come back in.

Cool, thank you! Seems to keep the Electric XII reasonably secure?rank wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 6:18 pmI think they are a smaller company (at least for now) & they will make some & then run out.

It does but I haven't taken it out of the house so I can't say that it has held up gigging wise or anything.

Re: Fender Alternate Reality Electric XII 12-String
Bought a EGC-200 BAR case made by a company called Douglas off of Reverb. Seems like it should fit. Will post an update once it arrives

Re: Fender Alternate Reality Electric XII 12-String
please do! i've been looking at their cases for a couple of my guitars and have wondered about the quality. they seem modestly priced, it would be good to hear if they're decent

Ugh- I should have posted about those not fitting and saved you some heartache/return shipping.
The upper horn won't fit in there without cutting the wood crosspiece, and the entire case is too narrow to fit the guitar width.

Re: Fender Alternate Reality Electric XII 12-String
Well shit. The pictures show a Jag bass fitting in there well, are the body dimensions really that different? I don't think the order has shipped yet, so I may be able to cancel itSignoftheDragon wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 5:38 amUgh- I should have posted about those not fitting and saved you some heartache/return shipping.

I bought 2 of them thinking they'd be a good fit, but nope. It's the same model, right? I notice this one has an EXP after it- so I guess verify before cancelling, maybe it's a different model.
The 12" body width was the other tight point- make sure yours is wide enough. I just measured my Gator GW-JAG case (Very tight fit on these) and the space for the body measures 13" x 21" and you still have to squoosh the foam along the sides and bottom to get the ARXII in there.
The cases themselves seemed like great units- great quality for the pricepoint. I'd order a Douglas case again... if I knew it fit.

Re: Fender Alternate Reality Electric XII 12-String
Body spot dimensions still say 18 1/2 though- even though it's likely wide enough, I think you're going to run into the top-horn issue. Grab your tape measure and double check. Fingers crossed!raindog13 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 15, 2021 2:38 am

Re: Fender Alternate Reality Electric XII 12-String
It says that, but it seems to me that can't be right, with the Jag bass fitting in there. I found a schematic online that has the Jag bass at about 21 inches, but I don't have one to actually confirm that, so yeah, fingers crossed for sure lolSignoftheDragon wrote: ↑Mon Feb 15, 2021 3:13 amBody spot dimensions still say 18 1/2 though- even though it's likely wide enough, I think you're going to run into the top-horn issue.
