A Fender Electric XII 12-string guitar, which was personally owned and played by Bob Dylan, has gone up for sale at online auction house Gotta Have Rock and Roll. (Guitarworld)
The model in question was designed in 1965 and given to the singer-songwriter to play during recordings at New York's Colombia Studio A that year, including Highway 61 Revisited and early sessions for Blonde on Blonde, before the album's production moved to Nashville in February 1966.
A handful of available photographs show Dylan wielding the rare 12-string guitar, which is one of “only a handful” ever produced, due to the pearloid pickguard being changed to a tortoiseshell on later models.
The guitar is listed alongside a letter of authenticity from Jody Carver, who previously served as Fender Liaison to artists, as well as a signed letter of provenance from Dylan’s management confirming that this was the model used in the New York Blonde on Blonde sessions.
