Описание: http://www.frettedamericana.com/fende...

This super rare 'Charcoal Frost Metallic' custom color twelve-string guitar weighs just 8.40 lbs. and has a nut width of just over 1 5/8 inches, a very comfortable medium neck profile and a scale length of 25 1/2 inches. Solid alder body, maple neck, and veneer rosewood fretboard with 21 frets and inlaid pearl dot position markers. "Hockey-stick" headstock in matching Charcoal Frost Metallic. Headstock decal with Fender logo in gold with black trim, with "ELECTRIC XII" in black below it, and "PAT. 3,143,028 2,960,900 & DES. 186,826" in black in two lines below that. One eight-hole "bracket" string guide. Six-on-a-side Fender "F" tuners with octagonal metal buttons. Four-bolt neck plate with large Fender backward "F" logo and with serial number "170883" between the top two screws. The neck is dated "12 APR 66 B" and the pots are dated "304 66 17" (Stackpole, April 1966). Two powerful black split single-coil pickups with outputs of 8.82k and 8.38k. Three-layer (white/black/white) plastic pickguard with seventeen screws. Two controls (one volume, one tone) and jack socket, all on metal plate adjoining pickguard, plus one four-way rotary selector switch on pickguard. Black plastic knobs with white numbering and silver tops. Fender twelve-saddle combined bridge/tailpiece. There are two 'additional' screws and washers on the face of the body just below the tailpiece. The screwholes are exactly 6 1/4 inches apart and have original 'Fender' screws and washers. We cannot explain why these were fitted - but what we can say, is that from a 1988 photograph (included) of this guitar - we can see that they were certainly there at that time (1988) and quite possibly from the factory in 1966. There are a couple of miniscule surface chips on the treble edge of the body but this super rare custom color twelve-string is still in as near mint (9.25) condition as one could ever wish for. Housed in its original Fender black hardshell case with black leather ends and orange plush lining (9.00).
