FENDER SAID
The Made in Japan Limited Stratocaster XII is a product designed for professionals, inspired by the Fender Electric XII released in the 1960s. It combines the high-precision body shape unique to the Stratocaster and the versatile sound from three single-coil pickups with the expressive qualities of a 12-string guitar.
This model has been released as a limited edition several times in the past, earning high praise in the 12-string guitar market for its distinctive sound, consistent Made in Japan quality, and cost-effectiveness from mass production. As a result, there has been strong demand for its re-release.
The alder body with a glossy finish is paired with a "U"-shaped neck featuring a 9.5-inch radius and 21 narrow-tall frets. It also comes with original pickups selected for the Traditional series, allowing it to produce musically rich vintage tones.
