Produced as part of the Limited Edition collection from 1987-93, this rare ”Made in Japan” Strat was crafted at the Fujigen factory during the golden age of Fender Japan production, notable for being the first 12-string Strat model ever made.\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\rThis Strat features an alder body, maple neck, and slab rosewood 22-fret fretboard, and also of note, the bridge on this initial iteration of the 12-string Stratocaster matches the design of Fender's Electric XII model from the 1960s, a feature which would be absent from later Strat XIIs. The trio of ST-Vintage alnico magnet single coils deliver a sound that is sparkling and clear, faithfully capturing the natural chime inherent to the twelve-string design, with ample bridge position bounce and cut. The neck pickup is round yet crisp, and the five-way pickup selector switch allows for easy access to a unique-sounding Strat \"quack\" at the in-between positions, still spanky but with a fuller, distinct character that is almost phaser-esque. This ST-XII weighs 7lbs 14oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with fresh strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\rNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\r-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\r-Shape: Medium C, full shoulders, measuring .830” 1st fret, .920” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\r-Fretboard: Rosewood slab, 9 1\/2“ radius\u003cbr\u003e\r-Frets: Medium, virtually no wear\u003cbr\u003e\r-Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e\r-Nut: 1 11\/16”, bone\u003cbr\u003e\r-Tuners: Kluson-style, Gotoh\u003cbr\u003e\r-Serialization: “Made in Japan,” E-prefix\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\rBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\r-Wood: Alder\u003cbr\u003e\r-Pickups: ST-Vintage single coil x3\u003cbr\u003e\r-Harness: Untouched solder, full-size Japanese pots date between late 1987 and early '88\u003cbr\u003e\r-Hardware: 12-saddle bridge\u003cbr\u003e\r-Plastics: Three-ply pickguard, gently yellowed knobs\/pickup covers\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\rCosmetic wear on the gloss Sunburst finish includes one small finish chip on the top body edge (adjacent to the arm contour), a number of minor nicks and finish scratches on the body as a whole (largely concentrated along the lower bout perimeter), and limited buckle worming on the back.
