Has anyone ever seen one?
apart from Sunburst, I've only ever seen pics of Olympic White, and Ice Blue Metallic with tortoise shell guards on an Electric XII.....but who knows...maybe a BBM with tortoise shell exists :)

If one actually exists I'm sure it's one of the rarest XII's on the planet...it's a pity that the 'Dressing Room' doesn't offer the possibility (yet?) to create variations of a 'XII', because I would love to see how this guitar would look!

I think I've seen a BBM with tortoise once, but it didn;t have a matching headstock

Well, the idea here is offsets that we know for a fact actually exist, we just don't have here at the forum.  So a BMM XII is a great example, if ever there actually was/is one.  Or something.

Between the lot of us we have a ton of offsets in a ton of colors, ranging from all-original to heavily modified.  But, there's still some that we're missing.  What I mean is that nobody here has one.  If we ever had a convention of our own, it would still be a little incomplete.  Even with Zhivago's '61s, Justin and Jay's new XIIs, Alfred's VIs and so many other beautiful guitars to name we'd only have three-quarters of a convention.

I'll start the list:

A Jaguar in Burgundy Mist Metallic with matching headstock.

A Black Starcaster.

A an Antigua offset-anything.

A Marlin-Burst Jazzmaster.

A Shoreline Gold Bass VI (sorry Alfred).
   :P

I'm sure there's many others that we could think of.  Let the fun begin, and the GAS explode!

Didn't Curtis refin a jag in BMM once?

Yes,  I've seen pictures of Chris Novak BMM Jaguar before...I believe it had a non-matching headstock.
