Fender Electric XII

• Dave Davies of The Kinks was the first notable user in Great Britain of an Electric XII, and the instrument can a.o. be heard on the track I'm Not Like Everybody Else, released in 1966. There are several photos that were taken in 1966 where Ray Davies can be seen live on stage with the same guitar and there is a possibility that it was actually owned by him and not by Dave Davies. • Pete Townshend, who used it extensively on the album Tommy. • Tim Buckley. • Andy Tielman of the Tielman Brothers used a Lake Placid Blue Electric XII during the 1960s. • Bob Berryhill of The Surfaris had a Candy Apple Red Electric XII during the 1960s. • Bruce Springsteen used a Fender Electric XII on stage during a brief period in the mid-1970s. • Billy Strange used an Electric XII (bought for him by Brian Wilson) on The Beach Boys track Sloop John B. • George Harrison used Andy Fairweather Low's Fender Electric XII when he performed If I Needed Someone during the concerts that were performed with Eric Clapton in Japan in December 1991. • Carl Wilson played a white prototype Electric XII during several concerts of The Beach Boys in 1965. • Jimmy Page, who used it for the studio recording of Led Zeppelin's famous "Stairway to Heaven" and on Jeff Beck's "Beck's Bolero". == See also ==
