Excellent condition featuring double cutaway semi-hollow body, laminated rosewood top and back, two bound f-holes, laminated maple sides, pearloid binding on the top and back body edges, two black top Filter'Tron style humbucking pickups with gold pickup surrounds, two volume controls and two tone controls with gold reflector top knobs, three position pickup selector switch with white tip, six way rotary QTX Quadra Tone Filter selector switch with chickenhead knob, fully adjustable tune-o-matic style bridge with six individual saddles, decorative gold trapeze tailpiece, elevated clear plastic pickguard with gold metal bracket, maple neck, pearloid bound rosewood fingerboard with pearloid block and abalone slash inlays starting at the first fret, elongated maple peghead, black headstock overlay with Alden logo and decorative inlays, 12 gold sealed tuning machines with oval and keystone shaped buttons, single ply black plastic electronics control cavity plate, two metal strap buttons, and gold plated metal hardware.
This is a well made instrument designed by Alan Entwistle, the "UK Guitar Guru" most well known for his pickup designs. The guitar is set up exceptionally well and plays great with low string action. The Filter'Tron style pickups sound tremendous and, with the help of the tune-o-matic style bridge, this guitar intonates perfectly. It's in excellent cosmetic condition and definitely has a super cool look that sets it apart from other 12-string electric guitars. This is a heavy instrument that's well balanced when seated and would make an excellent grab and go utility 12-string.
