Electric XII: Show us your block inlays . . .

Post by FEXII » Fri May 05, 2017 6:17 pm

Has anyone on OSG got a XII with block inlays? It would be nice to see them . . .

Dots are great but this thread is for BLOCKS! No library shots either!

They are very rare indeed..I have a few pics in my archives but not that many. Maybe 7 guitars or so.

Should I post them, or do you just want guitars of actual owners in the thread? (Don't want to hijack it) 8)

All great examples.
I have often wondered about that LPB as well.
Now lets see if anyone on OGF has got one . . . .

Ok. I'll play.

Here's my 1966 hanging out with my MIJ JM.

I didn't realize blocks were that rare. I thought they did more blocks than dots.
