Here for sale we have a Fender Alternate Reality Electric XII 12 String Electric Guitar in Lake Placid Blue finish. Built in Mexico in 2019 this guitar pays tribute to the iconic Fender Electric XII of the mid-to-late 1960s, but brings it into the present day with modern appointments, featuring an Alder body and a Modern ‘C’ profile Maple neck topped with 21 fret Pau Ferro fingerboard. A pair of split-coil electric XII pickups are installed, these are wired to master volume/tone controls and a 3-way toggle switch.
 
The satin finish Modern ‘C’ neck plays very smoothly, offering a comfortable and easy playing surface, The Satin finish to the rear of the neck assists with navigation of the 25.5" scale, whilst the offset body shape and contours ensure ample fret access and comfort on long playing sessions. The traditional 9.5" fingerboard radius is as practical as ever, nicely balanced between comfort when chord playing and ease for lead lines and bending. This is enhanced by the Medium Jumbo frets which offer a rock-solid and dependable playing surface.
 
The split coil electric XII single coil pickups sound crisp, clear and balanced, with a warm low end, an open midrange, along with very articulate trebles. The 3-way toggle switch offers a more approachable tone selector than the original rotary, giving a wide range of tones in a simpler package.
