Congrats and welcome to the Forum!

We'd be glad to help you, but we need pictures--lots of them!

Especially the headstock, the neck plate and the interior label...it'll make it easier to ID your instrument.

Thanks for responding I took about 8 pics but I can't figure out how to get them into the reply..if it helps the number on the neck plate is 05379 and the stamp inside seen through the hole says Manufactured by the Acoustic Instrument Co Inc. Anaheim California USA... and where the neck meets the body is a #12 and V2 ....if it means anything the string keys are stamped Kluson Deluxe if someone can tell me how to post the pice I will do it or email it to someone..Thanks again..Richy

The armadillo speaks truth! I didn't know fender made a 12 string. Interesting. :D


It is a very good instrument for the money. The Fender MIC necks are some of best finished I've ever played.

Here is a pic of mine, it is a Sweetwater official pic of my actual guitar.

I have no idea as to how to help the OP, however. :oops:

The original MIA Villager 12-string guitar first appeared in the fall of 1965, too late to be listed in Fender's 64/65 catalog. It featured a spruce top with mahogany sides and back, all in satin finish lacquer. The 20-fret neck is scaled to 25¼ inches and the distinctive "hockey-stick" headstock shape was shared with the companion Shenandoah acoustic and Coronado acoustic-electric models. The Villager was discontinued at the end of the 1968 model year. For a specific value, you should take the instrument to a bonafide dealer specializing in vintage guitars and let him perform a comprehensive appraisal.
