I, personally, think these are cooler than a solidbody Fender XII
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

...only in a more masochistic way. I too have a 12-string hollowbody electric guitar but mine has a Bigsby-style vibrato.
Say goodbye to that high octave B string every time you get carried away! Whose idea was that?

Cmon! This is O. S. G., not Coronado city!

I have to get my hands on one to be sure- I just hope the flips I've made along the way don't fill me with regret when I finally plug my "FINAL" guitar in...

 I'm sorry :-* there's still a 1/28 chance they started their life on the line together on Valentine's though ('67 not being a leap year) ;)
Did Fender work on the weekends? 20 weekdays in February 67, so 1 in 10 chance that one of ‘em was a valentine’s guitar, 1 in 400 that they both were. (Right?)

In any case: so pretty.

Looks like it might actually be one of the Wildwood models...
