Fender Electric XII
The Electric XII may not be Fender’s most popular or well-known guitar, but in terms of design it’s one of the best 12-string electrics ever made. Easy to play, stable and with an impressive breadth of tone, it’s hard to find a more practical instrument of its type. Although many people these days would be inclined to use a chorus pedal to conveniently simulate the tone of a 12-string, the natural complexity, shimmer and chime of multiple string courses is a wonderful sound that endures across various guitar-playing styles.
