    Always loved these and I have owned a few. I had a mint 1966 example in Sunburst that had been owned by Glen Campbell.

    Nice to hear Lemmo playing a 12-string in regular 12 tuning. He usually tunes the bottom four pairs in fifths rather than octaves, which sounds cool, but I like having the octave pairs. I first saw a Fender XII in probably 1966, could have been late ‘65 if any were out in the world that early. It was in the Fender booth at a Teenage Fair (anybody remember those?), and the Fender rep told me it was a prototype-which was why he wasn’t letting anybody play it! I’d wanted one ever since, couldn’t afford it at 15-I wound up getting a Vox Phantom XII later. Fast-forward 53 years, and Fender did a limited run of Electric XIIs in 2019, so after decades of waiting for Fender to reissue the darn things, I finally got one. I’ve dug 12-strings since the days of the Beatles and the Byrds, and when I finally got my Fender XII it had been fifty-some years since I’d had the Vox. The Vox looked better than it sounded and felt; the Fender is much better.

    This is by far the most famous Fener Electric XII in history.
    Played before a half million people at Woodstock by the incredible Johnny Winter!
    But, here's the catch! Johnny only had 6 strings on it when he was playing it! Used it for slide on "Mean Town Blues" here.
    ua-cam.com/video/kJSEZeNrKNM/v-deo.html
    Here's a TV show from 1970 in Copenhagen: ua-cam.com/video/HgJZWcdrBiQ/v-deo.html at 15:20 he plays the Fender Electric XII - with the 6 strings on it for the same song.

    As if I would ever think of owning that particular model, after all the time I have spent talking about how I don't personally abide with vintage guitars any longer, I still have this to say. After all the hockey references that Jen, Brandon and Michael made during this particular demo, I can still imagine getting that guitar and naming it after the title character portrayed by Rob Lowe in Youngblood. That one definitely is interesting among the hockey movies I've seen so far.

    Great to see the whole crew for this GotD episode- the jabs between Brandon and Lemmo were funny. That Fender Electric XII looks fantastic. The wiring set up for that one was probably done aftermarket I'm guessing. I was waiting for Lemmo to interject the that hockey stick headstock is more a field hockeystick shape rather than ice hockey. Props to Lemmo for playing it his way and not the usual Byrds-Zeppelin-Eagles 12-string cliche tunes.
