What about this potentially 'yummy' one - a Fender Electric XII in Burgundy Mist Metallic with matching headstock & tortoise scratchplate.
Has anyone ever seen one?
apart from Sunburst, I've only ever seen pics of Olympic White, and Ice Blue Metallic with tortoise shell guards on an Electric XII.....but who knows...maybe a BBM with tortoise shell exists

If one actually exists I'm sure it's one of the rarest XII's on the planet...it's a pity that the 'Dressing Room' doesn't offer the possibility (yet?) to create variations of a 'XII', because I would
love to see how this guitar would look!

Well, the idea here is offsets that we know for a fact actually exist, we just don't have here at the forum. So a BMM XII is a great example, if ever there actually was/is one. Or something.

I was just thinking about this last nite, and then the Antigua thread pushed me over the edge.
Between the lot of us we have a ton of offsets in a ton of colors, ranging from all-original to heavily modified. But, there's still some that we're missing. What I mean is that nobody here has one. If we ever had a convention of our own, it would still be a little incomplete. Even with Zhivago's '61s, Justin and Jay's new XIIs, Alfred's VIs and so many other beautiful guitars to name we'd only have three-quarters of a convention.
I'll start the list:
A Jaguar in Burgundy Mist Metallic with matching headstock.
A Black Starcaster.
A an Antigua offset-anything.
A Marlin-Burst Jazzmaster.
A Shoreline Gold Bass VI (sorry Alfred). :P
I'm sure there's many others that we could think of. Let the fun begin, and the GAS explode!
I've got a Jaguar in Burgundy Mist Metallic with matching headstock...............but it'a a reissue :-\

Didn't Curtis refin a jag in BMM once?
Times change. Remember when dog Jimmy used to go white and chalky? Now it grows hair! We got used to it. We'll get used to poly. -blueavenger

Yes, I've seen pictures of Chris Novak BMM Jaguar before...I believe it had a non-matching headstock.
