sentences:  This Vester model is the only known configuration of dual humbucking pickups on a solid body electric 12-string guitar.The model was initially inspired by a line of 135 candy-apple red guitar bodies produced in imitation of Ibanez and Kramer Stratocasters of the late 1980s to attract a younger segment of the market -- hoping to capitalize on Vester's small foothold among secondary school supply-and-requirements contracts at the time.Approximately half-way through that production, the bodies were retro-fitted with six extra string-through access points and six extra tuning heads to turn the model into a 12-string electric guitar.
