I don't have one, but I have tried them and really liked it. It's one that I'm on the look out for when I have the cash.

As much as I hate to admit it, yes, jeff you were right! Lol! Its a 65. Given the wear, I got it for way cheaper than they usually go for.

former club member 
mine was black,it was when i was trying to play guitar,and around the same time i owned a guild acoustic,an early 70's rickenbacker 6 string,and a 60's fender esquire,but that phase passed. all of those guitars together probably were purchased and sold/traded for less than $1000.......yeesh. that is one good sounding 12'er,and i thought it played nicely,which was quite a notable thing for me-i really cant play guitars...hurts my left hand to make those shapes...enjoy!
ps i seem to remember reading somewhere that this is the 12 string roy wood used on all those Move albums.(!)

Yep, that's what Roy Wood used on those Move albums, and to great effect!

The Firebird XII was the Gibson Firebird 12-string version. It's a two pickup model with a long Gibson 12-string headstock and neck set on a non-reverse Firebird body.
