Fender Alternate Reality Electric XII, olympic white, made in Mex 2019. This one just arrived and reliably turns heads multiple times per day in the shop. The Electric XII launched originally in the 1960s, but for many moons it was out of production; these Alt Reality were a welcome return to daylight. The hardware is sturdy: great bridge, good tuners, sensible string tree... all that means it stays in tune nicely, so you're not constantly stopping to wrestle it back into tune. The white/pao/tort combo looks super classy; it hits the classic curves of the offset body just right. Twice the strings, twice as nice.

Model: Fender Alternate Reality Electric XII 
Made: Mexico, 2019 (serial MX19107026)
Finish: 3-tone sunburst (3TS) , 3-ply red tort guard

Weight: 3.935

Cosmetic condition notes: negligible finish wear. Headstock and neck pretty clean, no major marks. Back and sides have no major marks, just a couple of super light dimples. The front has a few very light play scratches on the guard and horn, although the guard still has the plastic 'skin' on it. Overall: excellent condition (9.5/10)

Playing condition notes: Action is low, neck is straight, intonation is good, truss rod works. Frets have negligible wear, 9.5/10 for life left. All electrics tested and working properly.
