Fender Strat XII 12 string Blues
Loading...
Uploaded by voided3 on Jan 22, 2011
Some Saturday afternoon noodling on my '89 Fender Strat XII 12-string, (very) loosely based on "Born Under A Bad Sign." I kind of messed up the slide bit, but hey, it's just noodling plus the guitar has .008's on it.
The guitar is stock except for adding the bridge pickup to the second tone control, a CRL switch (stock one was shorting), and Dunlop strap locks. It's strung with .008-.040 Ernie Ball Slinkies in dropped-D tuning. I'm playing it through a Boss CS-3, Boss OD-3, and Line 6 Verbzilla set to function as an echo. The amp is a solid state Fender Frontman 212R.

I like very much 12-string guitars! Unfortunately, my 12-string acoustic has very bad neck. But the body is good! I want to restore it. And one of my dreams is a purchasing of 12-string electric! Also I like Fenders & Your playing is very nice! Thanx!

@batshijg Yep, wearing PJ's while playing is a well kept tone enhancing secret.

Dang!!! And I thought that 12 strings were only good for chords! It's like you're using an octaver when you play those low strings. That must be pretty difficult to do though playing the lead stuff w/ two strings per note like that. Was that really hard to get comfortable with?

@singtotheking The guitar has very light strings so it isn't too bad, but bending on 12-strings is usually limited to subtle pull offs or half step bends as the octave/unison pairs don't bend uniformly. Look up Stevie Ray Vaughan's performance of "Rude Mood" from the MTV Unplugged series; he plays a Guild acoustic 12-string just as aggressively as he would play one of his Strats.
