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.

::sigh:: .

Great that they got there in the end but not for me, the headstock is a thumbs down..

Got a feeling curtis novak will be having his best year for XII pups.

I think it’s a great effort for Squier. It’s not a copy of an old model gone wrong, it’s a new variation (including the headstock).

I‘d definitely get a blue one if I hadn’t bought a LPB AR XII when they came out (which I have zero regrets about).

Wow. It’s, erm, ugly. Looks better in blue. But something about that bridge .

Id swap the saddles out for genuine Gotoh..
Ive had problems with gotoh "style" bridges.

Welp... Okay.

Buying BOTH.

Not because I love it, but because it's a XII, and I have a problem.

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.

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.

Should we start a new petition for a real Electric XII?

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.

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.

alright i agree. we need at least limited models of these:
- CV starcaster bass (or they can make it a limited paranormal model if they want)
- Coronado (they can make it a limited paranormal model if they want)
- Cornonado bass (they can make it a limited paranormal model if they want)
- Jarman
- Sonic Jagstang

i like the goofy non vintage correct xii. its a limited model, and its fine.

We need a classic vibe XII.

NEED it.

Take my money.

That Jazzmaster XII isn't going to do it for me.
