FENDER ELECTRIC XII INFO NEEDED

Post by adz59shadow » Tue Oct 03, 2017 8:26 am

Hi All
What is the Earliest Electric 12 we have on here. The only reason is I have come across a 65 Model with No neck stamp. The earliest Neck stamp I can see online is Nov 65. I saw from the Fender Facts mag that they were doing trade shows with the NEW electric 12 til September 65 but wondered if anyone had a very early Electric 12???
Thanks
Adz

The earliest production Electric XIIs will have a white guard, white knobs, and a string guide between the bottom four tuners on the headstock.

It is not that uncommon to find a 65 XII with no neck stamp.
