The '''Fender Stratocaster XII''' is the [[Twelve string guitar|12 string]] version of the [[Fender Stratocaster]] [[electric guitar]] made by [[Fender Musical Instruments Corporation|Fender]]. It was introduced in 1985 and re-issued 20 years later after a brief discontinuation in 1996. Unlike the [[Fender Electric XII]], it uses a Strat-style body. Fender discontinued the Strat XII in 2009.

The Stratocaster XII is designed in the [[United States]] and manufactured in [[Japan]]. The original 1985 version featured some slight differences compared to the re-issue model of 2005; it had a larger bridge and saddle system similar to that of an Electric XII and an altered [[headstock]] shape with raised machine heads. It also used a 22-fret neck with a rosewood fingerboard and [[pearloid]] dots. The current version features a modified hard-tail Strat bridge, a [[pao ferro]] fretboard with 21 frets and clay dot inlays.

==Telecaster XII==
The '''Telecaster XII''' is similar in design, features and construction to the original Stratocaster XII of 1985, except for the addition of a 2-piece premium lightweight [[ash (tree)|ash]] Tele-style body, a 1-ply black pickguard and a 1-piece maple neck/fingerboard with black micarta dot inlays. This American-made [[Fender Custom Shop|Custom Shop]] limited-edition guitar was made in 1995 and discontinued in 1998.
