The Made in Japan Limited Stratocaster® XII pays homage to the iconic Fender Electric XII of the 1960s, blending the unique expressiveness of 12 strings with the classic Stratocaster® body design and the versatility of three single-coil pickups. Revered for its distinctive sound, reliable Made in Japan craftsmanship, and exceptional value, this model has become a favourite in the 12-string market, consistently earning calls for its return.
Featuring a gloss-finish alder body, a 9.5-inch radius "U"-shaped neck with 21 narrow-tall frets, and pickups from Fender’s Traditional series, this guitar delivers a rich, vintage-inspired tone with superb playability. It’s a perfect choice for players seeking a blend of history, quality, and sonic versatility.
