Well, Ive been looking for a while. I bought one from GC a few weeks back. That turned out to be a dud...the condition was WAY overstated, shipped in a beat to heck, Tele bass case, missing some OEM parts.
So I waited patiently and found this one.
It's a completely stock, 1966 Fender Electric XII. It's 100% original. The pot codes are 6545 (45th week of 1965), pickups are dated 4-17-66 and 5-4-66. The neck date is 12FEB66B. The frets look unused, the finish has a beautiful NOS look; just a slight amount of checking. The back of the neck shines like its new, with barely any wear.
I cleaned, polished, sprayed every part on this guitar, put it back together, strung it up and gave it a quick work out. I have to say, I'm extremely pleased. In my haste, I forgot to put the plastic p'up covers back on, so at the next string change, I'll do that.
