Members desertlimosine Posted June 18, 2005 Members Share Posted June 18, 2005 I saw these in the new Musicians Friend catalogue. Has anyone tried one out, or picked one up? It sounds like a good deal for 699. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mattburnside Posted June 18, 2005 Members Share Posted June 18, 2005 I tried one out, a Lake Placid blue one. Very nice. It played very well, action was good, sounded just like you would imagine a 12-string strat to sound. It's definitely on my short list, I probably might have to bump it up the list because they never make these for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The specs say it is the same as a Rick 360/12, which I guess is pretty damn narrow.This is another one I've been looking at, it has a wider nut width.http://www.italiaguitars.com/guitarDetail_outer.php?thisGuitarId=18Ugly as sin. It's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members desertlimosine Posted June 19, 2005 Author Members Share Posted June 19, 2005 wow, that italia 12 string is awesome! Yeah, i've always wanted to pick up a 12 string.. And i've been really getting into my start copy guitar... And those fender 12 strings are looking tempting as hell! I'll have to find a store that has them and test them out.

Members Edward Posted June 20, 2005 Members Share Posted June 20, 2005 Originally posted by keNz Just searched musiciansfriend for it and look what finally hit the market...UGH. I guess the US got them earlier... they're fairly new here still, the 12s. Yeah, i saw those shoes on ebay. For somereason, I picture Satriani playing an Ibanezx while wearing those, (I would say Steve Vai, but i see him as a barefoot hippy type, or at a pinch pointy cowboy boots). Not the sort of show that would spring to mind at all when i think Fender. Actually, if i was going to pick a show style for the Fender brand, I'd be thinking much more along the lines of PF Flyer / Converse styles. Would make a lot more sense along side the Tshirts and bowling shirts in their clothing line, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
