12-string Solidbody Electric Guitar with Poplar Body, Maple Neck, Laurel Fingerboard, and 2 Single-coil Pickups – Lake Placid Blue
A Dozen Strings of Paranormal Potential!
Through their Paranormal series, Fender’s introducing a host of unusual, unexpected, and downright distinct designs that put a compelling spin on the classics. Though the Jazzmaster body has seen plenty of configurations throughout the years, none have positively intrigued guitar gurus quite like this Jazzmaster XII! Masterfully blending vintage-style panache with contemporary appointments, this 12-string Squier sounds as fantastic as it looks. Fender-designed pickups, a graphite-reinforced maple neck, and a hybrid, fully adjustable hardtail bridge are just a few of the details to set this offset apart, all the while ensuring you’ve got the structural stability and sonic flexibility to squeeze every drop of tone out of this axe’s 12-string setup.
Hearing double, seeing 12
It’s not too often you find a 12-string, fully electric guitar. Sure, there are the double-necks and iconic 12-string acoustics of the world. However, neither of those requires the exacting consideration that goes into tone crafting, as you’d find with a guitar like this, and where else does tone start but the tonewoods? A poplar body serves as the tonal canvas upon which your jangly chordal passages will resonate: solid, articulate, and balanced, offering a modest amount of resonance to get every string singing without running together. A classic maple neck imbues your sound with a reflective brightness that bolsters voicings through tremendous note separation. Up top, a laurel fingerboard introduces vibrant, overtone-rich sonics throughout the spectrum, with an added dash of emphasis on the trebles, ensuring the full scope of tonal possibilities are never out of reach!
Fender-designed premium pickups
For all of the possibilities afforded by the Jazzmaster XII’s tonewood triumvirate, it won’t matter much without the right pickups. You can rest assured that the pair of Fender-designed Alnico pickups are ready for the job. These single-coil Jazzmaster pickups were developed to capture the full sonic potential of any 12-string array. A 3-way switch is accompanied by singular volume and tone knobs, providing streamlined control that gives you plenty of room to sculpt and shape as you go. Plus, a hybrid string-through-body, 12-saddle hardtail bridge is fully adjustable, keeping your tones in tune and buzz-free, thanks to the addition of the synthetic bone nut.
Sonic and structural reinforcements
Considering the pitch range of a 12-string guitar, 21 frets are more than enough space to explore this offset’s unique aural offering, balanced by its 25.5-inch scale. Due to the spatial demands of a 12-string design, Fender opted for a vintage-inspired “hockey stick” headstock, adorned with equally iconic old-school tuning machines. If the headstock’s size is giving you pause, don’t worry. The neck is reinforced with graphite to bolster the maple’s natural dimensional stability. At the same time, its “C”-shaped profile and 9.5-inch radius combine the comfort to accommodate numerous playing styles with the hand-feel to support complete use of all 12 strings.
