'65 IBM XII on Reverb mis-listed as LPB

Post by smjenkins » Sun Jul 17, 2022 7:41 am

Looks like it's seen its fair share of love over the years and has had the strap buttons replaced but in this market, not terrible for a pretty rare custom color XII. Not sure how anyone could look at that color and think LPB.

Lovely, but I preferred when the XII referred to the strings, not M dollars.

Very cool! But ouch! That color! It's not even a good surf green or gunmetal grey. Imagine what people would say if that color was on a cheap import Asian 12 stringer. Proper LPB would be outstanding.


Edit: Sorry. I would have posted this a half hour ago, but I feinted when I saw the price and have only just recovered.

Whaaaaat? I hope this is sarcasm. I think this looks killer and this color would look good on any guitar, honestly.

Same. I don't think I could think of a better example I'd want.

Strong money though, sheesh

Here and drooling.

That PRICE tho... jeez.

If I'm going to spend HALF that bill, it would need to have ALL my checklist:

Vintage Fender EXII: Check!
Custom color: Check-plus!
Matching Headstock: Check!
Blocks and Binding... (buzzer sound)

I'd bust the budget up to that full price if it were to be hand-delivered by one or more of the following: Jesus, Elvis, Santa, Dracula, or a little person/group of little people. (or any combination of the aforementioned.)
