Vox Phantom XII Stereo 1966 in Red [RARE!!] 12 String Guitar

The top of the line VOX PHANTOM was the XII (12 string) in STEREO!

VOX produced the PHANTOM XII Stereo between 1965 and 1968. It was the 12 string version of the Vox Phantom VI and both a distinctive, five sided body shape. The Vox Phantom XII had stereo electronics. Each of the three pickups was split into two coils, one for the bass strings and one for the trebles. The bass coils and treble coils were split into two circuits each with its own output. Each of the six pickup coils had its own volume and tone control - giving a total of 12 rotary controls! In addition there were also phase switches for the pickups.

Use a standard stereo phono jack to access both channels. which connected to two amplifiers simultaneously to allow Psychedelic panning and switching effects. 

A stereo/mono master switch will consolidate the R & L channels to a mono output (so you can use it just like a normal guitar.)

The single coil sound is sharp and crisp - view the youtube link (last photo here) for an audio test.

I've rarely seen these XII Stereo models come up on auction and they get snatched up very quickly. This one is the flashy red model which makes it even rarer! 

In incredible shape for a guitar that is over half a century old!

Anomalies:
-Missing 2 caps for the the stereo/reverse toggle switches (does not affect functionality.)
-1 visible ding (a few small ones exist but you need to hunt for them)
-Crack in the varnish in the neck (does not affect playability or structural integrity.)
-Missing bridge cover - these are readily available at Phantom Guitarworks for $29.

The guitar is currently in Japan, so I will have to ship it to you via airmail or sea mail (I will only charge you for what it will cost me.) I may bring it back with me to the US, in which case I will change the shipping cost.
