The Fender Custom Shop Electric XII Journeyman Journeyman Relic Samoan Coral Master Built by Carlos Lopez is one of few Electric XIIs Fender has released since its discontinuation in the 1960s. Fender has no original schematics or blueprints for this model, so to make sure that this reproduction of the 1960s original is historically accurate, Master Builder Carlos Lopez reverse engineered it, analyzing a 1966 Fender Electric XII down to its smallest components and handmaking each Electric XII replica from scratch.
