Hey, it's a start! They'll never please everyone. At least they tried with the headstock shape...they could have taken an easy way out with that (shame it's not matching). Any kind of affordable XII is a good thing.
Id swap the saddles out for genuine Gotoh..sal paradise wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2023 10:59 amWow. It’s, erm, ugly. Looks better in blue. But something about that bridge .
Would be great to hear your thoughts when you get your hands on one. Although I’m likely to order a blue one the moment they appear for sale over here & order a left handed nut.SignoftheDragon wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 9:05 amWelp... Okay.
Buying BOTH.
Not because I love it, but because it's a XII, and I have a problem.
agreed! I'm definitely considering buying it as is and do my own body shape, then baritone the rest. net win for Squier and me as far as I am concerned.

that and either the sonic coral bronco or the rascal bass.... I can't quit fender.
So, the white one came in this week, and DAMN. It's GREAT for what I paid, (under $400 with the shop's Dads & Grads special, WITH a free setup by my usual 12-string tech.) Hell, I like it initially as much as the Fender ARXII. I'm going to go play it more- will post some pics & more thoughts after.sal paradise wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 9:09 amWould be great to hear your thoughts when you get your hands on one.

That incorrectly implies that Fender paid attention to the first one. And we need a CV Starcaster Bass much more than a another Squier 12 String. It does kind of amaze me that so many are expressing disappointment before ever seeing one, much less playing one. I guess they just wanted them for wall art and have no need to hear what they sound like nor how they feel.Twang Deluxe wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 12:47 pmShould we start a new petition for a real Electric XII?

I dunno, I kinda like it, although it's really more of a Jazzmaster XII than an Electric XII, but it would tick the box for both Jazzmaster and twelve-string. I've got a lot of more folk based original songs I'd love to use a 12 string for, get that pseudo-Byrds thing going on.
