holding out for the squier VM version.

also, it has a reserve on it, which could be anything up to 50 million dollars.

Just bid 509.36....no luck.

After Squier issued a Bass VI, people started clamoring for an Electric XII. I think there's about a 50/50 chance that they do it.

I can never understand how these guitars get on the market, how anyone could want to part with one I do not know. Even horrible bills I'd try every other means to pay than sell one of these.

I would love to make a Fender XII, the problem is they don't make 12 string bridge like the originals. The only other guitar that used it was the Squier Venus XII.

It's kinda like the Bronco in that way. You have find a vintage bridge which is nearly impossible.

and the first run of MIJ strat xiis

however the modern gotoh style 12 string bridges used on danos and modern fender strat xiis are absolutely fit for purpose and work very well.

i can't say i've played a fender xii but i don't imagine the bridge adds anything particularly special to the tone or setup that the gotoh doesn't match up to. plus the vintage bridge actually a fixed radius which narrows it's function further.

I didn't know they used the original bridge on the first run strats. I am sure the modern 12 string bridges are great, but if you were wanting to build a vintage style Fender XII they don't make them. I am a fan of 7.25" radius so a fixed radius wouldn't bother me as much. I loved the look of the vintage bridge and the saddles with individual intonation was cool as well.

Here's a picture of one with the original style bridge. Looks much nicer, to me, than the Gotoh ones. Never had any issues with lack of individual saddle height adjustment on my Venus XII. It's not like I shred on it or anything

i agree they look nicer, but for the sake of price i'd be happy with the gotoh as i'm sure a new run of the vintage styles would be a very non-squier thing to do

a good compromise might be to stick the gotoh saddles on a trapezoid plate?

I really dig that. I had never seen anything but the Gotoh Version. I might have to keep an eye out for one in the future.

I could play as is or use to make my own Fender XII project.

That one's for sale if you're interested: LANK

Nothing to do with me, just popped up on a Google image search when I was looking for a picture of one with the old style bridge.
