This was the FIRST electric 12-string ever marketed, predated only by the \"Top half\" of the almost mythical Stratosphere Twin doubleneck and Gibson's subsequent extremely rare twin neck guitars from the late 50's. Several years before Rickenbacker developed their famous 12-string New York studio ace Vincent Bell went to Nathan Daniel with an instrument he'd been recording with�a Greek Bouzouki tuned like a guitar. Together they developed two guitars based on this idea, a teardrop-shaped single pickup model and this rather abstractly shaped double pickup Deluxe version. They first appeared in the 1961 catalogs and were produced until the late 60's. There is also an old rumor that Danelectro had somehow ended up with a large quantity of .008 gagued string wire, and thus \"invented\" octave tuning for the \"G\" string pairs (older 12's usually featured a doubled \"G\").\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Bellzouki has standard mid-60's features�the tuners are \"Skate Key\" Danelectro models introduced around this time; oddly there is no \"BELLZOUKI-Vincent Bell\" plaque on the body and no sign it was ever there. A typical if inexplicable feature is the strap button on top of the headstock. The semi-solid sunburst body is built in standard Danelectro fashion with a pine core and edging and Masonite top and back. The two lipstick tube pickups are controlled with individual volume and tone controls and a master volume, along with a selector switch mounted in a rather eccentric location on the rim. The bridge and neck are standard Dan-o pattern, this model being the initial use of the wide \"V\" shaped headstock later seen on several other models.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn general the Bellzouki is a very underrated guitar; with a wide comfortable fingerboard and two great-sounding Danelectro pickups this is one of the more useful electric 12's eve. Eccentric for sure, but a great-sounding and surprisingly versatile instrument, and a great testament to the talents of both Nathan Daniel and Vinnie Bell.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 39 in. (99.1 cm.), 13 3\/8 in. (34 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 11\/16 in. (4.3 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 in. (635 mm.). Width of nut is 1 3\/4 in. (44 mm.). All original, some average finish wear. There is some odd wear at the base of the neck, looking as if someone perhaps rounded off the heel area of the neck (not the body) a bit. Good player and a nice example of one od Danelectro's more eccentric creations.

This Mark XII's dark sunburst is the standard finish offered for the \"teardrop\" models; anything else is very rare. The guitar features three standard single-coil Vox pickups-the bright sound of which is particularly well-suited to a 12-string-with a wiring rig derived from the Stratocaster, i.e. master volume, two tone controls and a three-way switch. The vibrato was developed from JMI's \"Hank B' Marvin' unit and is basically a close copy of the solidbody Bigsby.

The necks are quite slim, re-inforced with a very sophisticated metal-sheathed truss rod system (\"The Hagstrom Secret\" according to the catalogs) that keeps them true over time and very easy to play. The two single-coil pickups are controlled by a single master volume knob and a bank of switches allowing on\/off for each and \"Mute\" and \"Tone\" functions. This 12-string is one of the less common models, introduced in 1966 and available for a few years after. It is unusually light and handy for a 12-string, with a very good bright sound and a lot of sonic possibilities. Hagstroms in general were very popular with amateur teen combos in the mid-late 60's and remain an excellent bargain in a good quality vintage guitar.

The Mando-Guitar never really caught on in a big way but remains a very cool and actually quite functional oddity. This is essentially an double-strung octave guitar; some describe it as an \"octave 12 string guitar\" but the strings are actually tuned in unison, not the octave arrangement of a conventional 12-string. The idea was to make an instrument that played in the mandolin range but was tuned as a guitar, as few of the Beat-era guitarists who were JMI's customers had a clue how to play mandolin! A few of the first Mand-Guitars were produced at Jennings' Dartford, Kent factory but the great bulk of extant examples were built by Eko in Recanati, Italy. With its small artist-palette shaped solid body and short 15\" scale neck this is a very handy instrument, and with two Vox pickups has a fairly wide range of tones.

The model was a straight adaptation of the standard 335 design, with only an extended headstock and 12-string tailpiece as alterations. The model was fairly successful over the next couple of years but was phased out of production in 1970, so is not nearly as plentiful as its 6-string sibling. This example was built during 1966, one of 360 made that second production year. It sports a traditional two-tone sunburst finish, all chrome-plated hardware but still a couple of earlier features like an \"ABR-1\" marking on the bridge base and the older style metal-capped gold plastic knobs, shortly replaced with the later '60's \"Witch Hat\" style. This model was used by Robbie Krieger on the Doors \"Love Her Madly\" and Richie Furay of the Buffalo Springfield, the Beau Brummels and many other Folk-Rock acts.

Like most production Vox guitars sold in the US, this one was built at the Eko factory in Recanti, Italy. JMI in Dartford, Kent, was already overstreched by 1964, supplying Vox amplifiers to the UK and world markets. Instead of greatly expanding their guitar-making facilities, they outsourced the bulk of production to the Italian firm. These Eko-made Vox guitars are more consistent than their English-made cousins, and in some ways better made. By the time Thomas Organ in California had taken over US distribution of JMI's products, nearly all the Vox guitars they handled would be of Italian parentage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe teardrop-shaped Mark series was originally a stylistic outgrowth of the trapezoidal-bodied Phantom line. Indeed, the earliest model was called the Phantom Mk.III. Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones got one of the first hand-built prototypes, and the exposure the model received in his hands in 1964-5 was quite enough to quickly make it the most sought after Vox guitar. The solid body \"Mark\" series quickly expanded to include 6, 12, and 9-string guitars as well as a bass, all offered in several different finishes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mark \"Acoustic\" line followed in 1966, using the body developed for the teardrop-shape hollow body \"Wyman Bass\". This Mark XII's vibrant cherry is one of two standard finishes offered for the \"Acoustic\" models. The guitar features three standard Vox pickups, the bright sound of which is particularly well-suited to a 12-string, with a wiring rig derived from the Stratocaster, i.e. master volume, two tone controls, and a three-way switch. The vibrato is derived from JMI's \"Hank B Marvin\" unit and is basically copied from the solid body Bigsby.

Like most Vox-branded instruments sold in the US, this one was built at the Eko factory in Recanati, Italy. Vox's parent company JMI (Jennings Musical Industries) in Dartford, Kent was already overstretched by 1964 supplying Vox amplifiers to the UK and world markets. So, instead of expanding their meagre guitar-making facilities, Jennings outsourced the great bulk of instrument production to the Italian firm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese Eko-made Vox guitars are more consistent than their English cousins, and in many cases are better-playing instruments. By the time Thomas Organ in California took over American distribution of JMI's products in 1965, nearly all Vox guitars sold in the US would be of Italian parentage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe teardrop-shaped Mark series was originally a stylistic outgrowth of the trapezoidal-bodied Phantom line; indeed, the earliest model was called the Phantom Mk.III. Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones got one of the first hand-built prototypes, and the exposure the model received in his hands in 1964-5 was quite enough to quickly make it the most sought-after Vox guitar, especially in the US. The solid-body \"Mark\" series soon expanded to include a full family of 6, 12, and 9-string guitars as well as a bass. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Mark XII has been refinished in black in a style very similar to the original Italian Polyester work. The standard finish offered for the \"teardrop\" models was a slightly queasy black\/red\/yellow sunburst. Solid black was offered as a finish option for the teardrops and is very rarely seen; this one appears to have been refinished very early on. The guitar has a very striking look and to the average observer does not show any notable difference from the original finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mark XII features three standard single-coil Vox pickups, the bright sound of which is particularly well-suited to a 12-string. The wiring rig is derived from the Stratocaster, i.e. master volume, two tone controls, and a three-way switch. The vibrato was developed from JMI's \"Hank B' Marvin\" unit and is basically a close copy of the solid-body Bigsby. The Mark XII is one of the better-sounding '60s solid-body 12-strings and one of the few to be equipped with a vibrato -- for better or worse! This very sharp black-finished Mark XII is a '60s icon and an eminently posable and playable guitar!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 42 in. (106.7 cm.), 12 in.

(46 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis guitar has some typical finish checking to the thick poly finish on the body, amazingly similar to what most original finish Vox guitars show, but is otherwise not heavily worn with just some small chips and dings. The body finish looks very much like the standard Vox finish of the period; it was likely refinished early on. All parts remain original except the upper strap button, and the bridge cover and mute bar are long gone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pickups and electronics are original, but there appears to have been some rewiring done, likely when the body was stripped, and the middle position is now a blend of the middle and bridge pickups instead of the middle alone. The guitar plays and sounds very well and is a nice, if not all-original, player's example of this Anglo\/Italiano 12-string classic.

This Stereo 12-string is one of the more obscure variations, and certainly unmistakable! Like most Vox-branded instruments sold in the US, this one was built at the Eko factory in Recanati, Italy. Vox's Parent company JMI (Jennings Musical Industries) in Dartford, Kent was already overstretched by 1964 supplying Vox amplifiers to the UK and world markets, so instead of expanding their meagre guitar-making facilities, Jennings outsourced the great bulk of instrument production to the Italian firm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese Eko-made Vox guitars are more consistent than their English cousins, and in many cases are better-playing instruments. By the time Thomas Organ in California formalized American distribution of JMI's products in 1965, nearly all Vox guitars sold in the US would be of Italian parentage. The Phantom XII was a later addition to the Thomas line, appearing in late 1965 or 1966. By that point virtually all the Vox guitars sold in the US were made in Italy, and Thomas was actually designing their own models, or in this case a variation on an existing JMI design. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Phantom series -- designed originally in England around 1962 -- already encompassed a full family including 6-string, 12-string, and bass versions. With a wide, comfortable neck and 3 single coil pickups, the Vox 12-strings were already fairly successful in 1965. The reasoning behind a special stereo 12-string (and only the 12-string was marketed) is obscure, but it was quite likely Thomas noticing that Rickenbacker (also in southern California) was months back-ordered on the suddenly popular stereo Model 360-12 and decided to cop some of the action. The regular Phantom XII was already a good seller for the company, so perceiving a deluxe 12-string niche, Thomas jumped in with both feet with this deluxe and (originally) very expensive variation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Phantom XII Stereo has one of the most cluttered facades ever offered to guitarists -- it features three special double-coil Vox pickups used only on this model. These are not humbuckers but have a separate half-coil on each side for the treble and bass strings. Each half-pickup is provided with its own tone and volume control, with a standard 3-way selector offering \"Stereo-Mono-Off\" and a bank of 3 lever switches selecting different modes: stereo, mono, and \"reverse\" or out-of phase. Whether the world needed this or not, it's an impressive range of tones available. This early model did not have any indication on the pickguard of how the controls were to be operated -- later examples actually spelled it out with engraved legends, hopefully helping the likely baffled users figure out what the guitar was doing!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Vox 12-strings in general were fairly popular and successful guitars in the mid-'60s, the bright sound of Vox pickups being particularly well-suited to a 12-string application. The Phantom XII Stereo arrived a bit late and is much rarer than the standard model. Helpfully, it also dispensed with the vibrato which did not help earlier the Vox 12's staying in tune. The Phantom XII is generally one of the better-sounding '60s solid-body 12-strings; the stereo model is much more versatile, if also more baffling! Still, the Phantom XII Stereo remains a '60s icon and an eminently posable, playable, and collectible guitar!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 42 in. (106.7 cm.), 10 7\/8 in.

It never caught on in a big way, but remains a very cool and actually quite functional oddity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is essentially a double-strung octave guitar; some describe it as an \"octave 12 string guitar\", but the strings are tuned in unison, not the octave arrangement of a conventional 12-string. The idea was to make an instrument that played in the mandolin range but was tuned as a guitar, as few of the Beat-era guitarists who were JMI's customers had a clue how to play mandolin! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA few of the first Mand-Guitars were produced at Jennings' Dartford, Kent factory, but the great bulk were built by Eko in Recanati, Italy. With its small artist palette-shaped solid body and short 15\" scale neck, this is a very handy instrument, and with two Vox-style pickups has a fairly wide range of tones. There have been a number of similar instruments inspired by this design created in more recent decades, but the Vox Mando-guitar remains the original and coolest of all mini-guitar efforts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Mini XII is from a batch of limited reissues that were produced in the USA in the late 90s and early 00s. This one is especially interesting as it is a pre production model. The instrument structurally is the same as production models, but differs in 3 areas: it has no serial number stamped on the back of the headstock, there is no Vox logo engraved on the bridge cover, and it does not have the Vox sticker on the back of the headstock below the tuners. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original write-up read: \"This 19-fret gem comes fully loaded with vintage alnico pickups. Commonly used on early 1960s British invasion recordings, the Mini XII's tuning and fingering are the same as a standard 12-string guitar. It is strung using unison pairs instead of octave pairs. With fully adjustable intonation for each of the 12 strings, a maple neck and a solid 2 piece hardwood body, the Mini XII will add a unique flavor to your guitar performance.\" These were available in sunburst only.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 28 1\/2 in.

The model was a straight adaptation of the standard 335 design, with only an extended headstock and 12-string tailpiece as alterations. The 12-string ES-335 was fairly successful over the next couple of years but was phased out of production in 1970, so is now not nearly as plentiful as its 6-string sibling. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis example was built during 1967, one of 597 made that year -- the model's production peak.

Guild had seen solid success with their flat top 12-strings, so it must have seemed a no brainer to adapt the thin-line electric Starfire to the format.

It uses mostly the same layout as the 6-string Starfire IV, a double cutaway, twin pickup semi-hollow instrument with a laminated maple body and laminated mahogany neck. The obvious difference is the long headstock fitted with two banks of openback Waverly strip tuners. These have chrome-plated plastic buttons, which helpfully reduces the weight of the headstock! By the time this XII was made, the neck joint on the double-cut Starfires had been moved out from the 16th to the 18th fret resulting in better fret accessibility and a feel more akin to Gibson's ES-335 series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most interesting and unusual aspect is the beautiful deep green semi-transparent finish. This was a custom ordered alternative to the common stock cherry red or sunburst, listed as available at a $20 upcharge in the catalog. The label reads \"Starfire XII Green\" with a serial number (also stamped on the headstock) dating this guitar to early 1969. Although this model was not officially discontinued until 1974, the electric 12-string boom had petered out by the late '60s. Very few if any Starfire XII's were made after 1969 and this green example is one of only 13 sold that year.

Other hardware is shared with the rest of the Starfire line including the clear plastic back-painted pickguard, \"harp\" tailpiece, G-shield tone and volume knobs and metal-tipped switch. The XII uses a plain compensated wooden bridge instead of the fancier Hagstrom or Bigsby units of other Starfire variations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Starfire XII has a fairly narrow 1 5\/8 nut but a chunkier feeling neck than some electric 12's, offering more to hold on to than the typical Rickenbacker or Fender XII.

The finish shows what look like the effect of old moisture exposure mostly on the face, with some small flaked spots and numerous small puckered areas most notably on the lower bass bout. This appears to have been incurred decades ago and there is no further flaking or loss happening to the lacquer. Overall there are also chips, dings, and dents but no large areas worn away. The back and sides of the neck have some wear, and there is an odd darker stained spot on the treble side of the fingerboard around the 8-9th fret area. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll hardware both internal and external remains complete and original, and everything works as intended. The top D string tuner is fairly well bent but still fully functional. The plastic headstock overlay has shrunken slightly but is not curling up or separating as many do. The frets have only minor wear; the crown on the medium\/small wire is fairly flat but this appears to be factory work. Despite the minor scarring to the finish on the face this is a lovely guitar and a very fine example of an interesting and very player-friendly 1960's Guild rarity.

With its wide comfortable neck and three powerful Tri-Sonic pickups this British-made 12-string is a versatile and great-sounding guitar for many applications. It is also a supremely striking looking machine, with a cherry-faded-to-orange finish on the sycamore body and neck continuing to the huge double-sided headstock. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Double Six is equipped with three single-coil Burns Tri-Sonic pickups giving it a clear and very powerful sound, and the big wide neck is a treat for players who feel constrained by the typical narrow Rickenbacker-style 12 string fingerboard. The wiring is Strat derived with a three way switch 9that can sometimes be coaxed in between settings) and three knobs, master volume and two tones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular guitar was likely assembled sometime in 1966 after the US Baldwin company took over the London-based Burns operation in September 1965. There are no major differences from the original Burns-logo'd version, just small a couple of detail changes: the neck has fretboard binding and of course the lower pickguard logo is now \"Baldwin\". The Double Six remains one of the very best Burns-designed instruments and a mucho cool guitar, favored by many bands including the Searchers, The Zombies, The Troggs, and even Elvis! This is a unique looking example and a very nice playing and sounding electric 12.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 42 1\/4 in. (107.3 cm.), 14 1\/4 in.

(51 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a splendid original example with some general wear but no notable damage or repair. It remains all original and complete including the original floating bar bridge and oft-missing chrome tailpiece cover. The color on the body and neck has faded dramatically from the original cherry to a lighter orange hue we can only describe as \"creamsicle\". Heavy fading is fairly common with this particular Burns (originally cherry) finish, but this one has turned a fairly unique pastel look we find quite attractive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body and neck have some typical checking with minor dings and chips overall. There is corrosion to some metal parts, most notably that tailpiece cover. Still really considering it is 55 years old this is a very well-preserved guitar, an excellent player and the nicest of these we have had in a while! It includes a shaped period HSC that is not typical Baldwin issue but appears designed for this instrument, or at least a very good fit.

This is the extremely rare electrified model, with a small magnetic pickup mounted at the base of the fingerboard and tone and volume controls on the upper treble bout. This was a catalog option for several Guild flat tops in the later 1960s but in practice was rarely ordered; electrified models like this are exponentially rarer than their purely acoustic brethren. The label on this one reads \"F-212 Electric\" but the model is usually referred to as the F-212E. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe F-212 is built on a not-quite 16\" wide mahogany body with an X-braced spruce top which produces a big, warm yet bright sound with plenty of ring. The big, wide mahogany neck with a center maple strip lamination and unbound rosewood fingerboard is quite comfortable and is built with an unusual double truss rod system that works quite well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a fairly later example of the model, which was introduced in 1964. The very first F-212's have a flat radius fingerboard (like an old Stella!) but this second generation example from 1968 has a slightly radiused board most players find more comfortable. Another quirk of early Guild 12-strings is the fingerboard has no position markers; it does have small side dots. The top is multi-bound in white\/black celluloid, with a large shaped rosewood bridge and a tortoise celluloid pickguard in the typically distinctive Guild shape. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe F-212 was a world standard acoustic 12-string when new in the 1960s, and still remains so today. It was one of Guild's signature instruments of the decade, associated with many artists of the era and has remained a classic ever since. This rare electric variation is in a better state of preservation than most and plays excellently with a powerful but still transparent sound acoustically and a surprisingly good chime plugged in, even with bronze strings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 43 in.

(46 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall this is a very clean guitar, showing only some fairly minor wear. The neck has been reset (an exhaustive process on these!) and there is some minor scarring and touch up visible around the heel. The finish has some scrapes and dings and an area of bubbled finish from strap burn on the lower side between endpin and jack but really this is a generally well preserved guitar. There are no cracks anywhere and no finish overspray or touchup except just around the heel. The saddle is replaced and there is an strap button added at the heel but everything else is original. Guild 12-strings do not come a whole lot better than this one, especially in this very rare electrified mode. An excellent player, in a very nice OHSC.

This was the FIRST electric 12-string ever marketed, predated only by the \"top half\" of the almost mythical Stratosphere Twin doubleneck and Gibson's subsequent and also extremely rare twin neck guitars from the late '50s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral years before Rickenbacker developed their famous 12-string, New York studio ace Vincent Bell went to Nathan Daniel with an instrument he'd been recording with -- a Greek Bouzouki tuned like a guitar. Together they developed two guitars based on this idea, of which this teardrop-shaped single pickup model was the basic version. They first appeared in the 1961 catalogs and were produced until Danelectro folded in the late '60s. There is also an old rumor that Danelectro had somehow ended up with a large quantity of .008 gauged string wire, and thus \"invented\" octave tuning for the \"G\" string pairs (older 12s usually featured a doubled \"G\").\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 1965 single-pickup Model 7010 Bellzouki has standard mid-'60s features. The tuners are \"Skate Key\" Danelectro-made models introduced around this time; there is a \"BELLZOUKI-Vincent Bell\" decorative plaque on the body. A typical if inexplicable feature is the strap button on top of the headstock, which may have been one of Bell's ideas -- it only appears on Danelectros with this headstock shape. The teardrop shaped semi-solid sunburst body is built in standard Dan-O fashion with a pinewood core and edging and Masonite top and back. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe single lipstick tube pickup is controlled with volume and tone controls along with a selector switch that engages with the tone knob for different tonal options. The bridge and neck are standard Dan-o pattern, this model marking the initial appearance of the wide \"V\"-shaped headstock later seen on several other models.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn general the Bellzouki is a somewhat underrated guitar; with a wide comfortable fingerboard and great-sounding Danelectro pickup, this is one of the better designed electric 12s, even in this single pickup configuration. It's interesting to wonder if the teardrop body shape was noticed at Vox in England; this model predated their solid-body teardrop Mark VI by several years. The Bellzouki is eccentric for sure, but a good-sounding instrument and a great testament to the talents of both Nathan Daniel and Vinnie Bell.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 39 in. (99.1 cm.), 13 3\/8 in. (34 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 11\/16 in. (4.3 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 in. (635 mm.). Width of nut is 1 3\/4 in. (44 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis old Danno shows some dings, scrapes and dents, but remains just about all original and in good playable condition. The body finish has more wear on the back than the face, while the back of the neck has a few deeper dinks but overall is relatively clean. The only alteration is the nut, which is a reproduction of the aluminum original with some minor finish patching around it. Everything else on the guitar is original. One small corner of the pinned-on pickguard is missing. This one saw some use but no abuse, a good example of this effective if slightly eccentric entry in the electric 12-string stakes.

Unlike most Vox-branded instruments sold in the US, this one was NOT assembled at the Eko factory in Recanati, Italy but at Jennings Musical Industries in Dartford, Kent. Vox's Parent company was already overstretched by 1964 supplying Vox amplifiers to the UK and world markets. Instead of expanding their meagre guitar-making facilities, Jennings outsourced most instrument production to the Italian firm. UK-made Vox guitars are exponentially rarer than their Italian cousins, especially in the US. By the time Thomas Organ in California had fully established American distribution of JMI products in 1965, nearly all Vox guitars sold here would be of Italian parentage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe teardrop-shaped Mark series was a stylistic outgrowth of the trapezoidal-bodied Phantom line, indeed the earliest model was called the Phantom Mk.III. Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones got one of the first hand-built prototypes; the exposure it received in his hands in 1964-5 was enough to make it the most sought after of all Vox guitars, especially in the US. The solidbody \"Mark\" series soon expanded to include a full family of 6, 12 and 9 string guitars as well as a bass, all using the distinctive teardrop body shape. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Mark XII features a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard on a body of African mahogany, finished in white polyester. This white finish is one of several offered for the \"teardrop\" models; due to the Jones connection it is the most sought after. The three 6-pole single-coil Vox pickups provide a wide range of tonal options, with a sound particularly well-suited to a 12-string. They are similar to 1962-era Stratocaster pickups, but with a more square-ended white plastic cover. Controls are also a ringer for the Strat: master volume and two tone knobs, with a lever switch for pickup selection. The vibrato was developed from JMI's \"Hank B Marvin'\" unit, basically copying a solidbody Bigsby paired with an adjustable roller bridge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mark XII is one of the better sounding '60's solidbody 12 strings and one of the few to be (dubiously) equipped with a vibrato! This very sharp looking teardrop 12 is fairly well used but still a '60's icon and eminently poseable and collectible guitar! Eko-made Vox guitars are exponentially more common and lack the cachet and more importantly the sound of original JMI-built instruments. An original UK-made instrument like this is extremely rare here in America, and a very cool find.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 42 in. (106.7 cm.), 12 in. (30.5 cm.) width, and 1 1\/2 in. (3.8 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 in. (635 mm.). Width of nut is 1 13\/16 in. (46 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e Overall this guitar shows a decent amount of wear but remains a nice playable example of this rare instrument, better preserved than many. There has been some work performed over the years, but the guitar still looks and feels as it should. The body finish has typical fairly heavy checking, which is quite common with these English polyester finishes. There is a small crack off the back end of the neck pocket by the bass pickup, visible but not a structural issue. The lacquer neck finish has nicks and dings but no heavy wear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll hardware appears original, with some wear to the chrome and plastic but everything works as it should. The fabric and foam back pad has wear around the edges but is largely intact. The trem arm has gone missing as has the bridge cover but otherwise the guitar is complete. The Trem unit was moved slightly at some point for no apparent reason, leaving a couple of screw holes patched in the top. Internally the wiring is original with the distinctive UK-made Morganite pots intact. The guitar has been refretted (virtually a requirement on UK-made Vox guitars) with somewhat larger wire than the original and plays very well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis guitar has a possible if unprovable connection to 1960s stars (and Vox endorsers) the Dave Clark 5. There is a small silver Letraset name tag reading \"Denis Payton\" in the trem well. Payton was the band's saxophone player and also doubled on harmonica and guitar. There are photos from the later 1960's showing him using teardrop XII strings much like this one; we cannot claim this guitar has any direct connection to the band but it is interesting anyway!
