Cool bunch of guitars! I love the Nashville Strat/Tele-I’ve been wanting something like that for decades. And it’s double-bound! Be still my heart! And it’s about time they did an Electric XII in the Squier line. I’d be really interested in that, but I’ve already got a Mexican Electric XII from the Alternate Reality series that Fender did in 2019. The Squier XII is half the price I paid for the Fender, and used are going for $300 to $750 more that what I paid for mine. I’ve even seen one going for twice the original price, but I don’t know if it actually sold for that. Original price was $999, with a crappy gig bag. It took me a couple of years, but I finally found a Jazzmaster case that was long enough to accommodate the 12-string headstonck. A regular Jazzmaster case won’t fit. I got my case from Amazon-it’s a Crossrock hardshell. I don’t imagine the Squier XII will come with even a gig bag.

I Bought the Nashville Strat, and while I don't like the fretboard, it plays great and surprisingly, it has a sound of its' own that is new and unique. The center Strat p/up sounds very much like a Strat neck p/u so you can get a Strat tone with it, and with the 2- position tone knob you get very sweet lead tone, this guitar is a tone monster and I predict this style will become very popular. Great video!!

Stratosonics bear a striking resemblance to an Epiphone Coronet which has become highly collectible. Some claim the Coronet was the Epi version of an SG back in the '60s when Epi wasn't doing all the Gibson clones (although they were owned by Gibson). The clone/budget guitars came much later. Coronets share the same silhouette as Epiphone Wilshers. Coronets have been reissued at various times with different headstocks. There was a limited run of high-quality Coronets based closely on the /60s original at some point in the 2000s, I believe. So, Stratosonic was much closer to a Coronet than a hybrid of a Strat and Les Paul Special/Jr.
