- Description

Entwistle RJT-60/12 12-string offset, vintage white, made in China circa 2021. Alan Entwistle has a long and illustrious resume, starting out in the early 1960s making his own electric guitars and going on to do stints in design working for Burns of London, fellow UK makers Tanglewood and German giants Hohner. This model is sold in the UK under the Revelation brand name, but here in Australia they were blessed with Alan's name on the top instead. He's good with pickups, so this has a set of his saucy P-90 style AL90 soapbar single coils on deck, which sound great: clear and chiming with a nice little creamy midrange kick. The build is tidy, with a comfy neck, clean finish work, good frets etc... some care and attention has gone into it. The shape borrows from the classic 60s era Fender Offset XII, although this has a more sensible bridge, headstock and pickup set. It looks super cool, no qualms at all there. If you're after a very fun, reliable electric 12-string for around the same buckos as a seven days worth of rent in our fair Hobart city, here is the juice. Treebeard not included.
