Great pictures Max. We don't see many CE-II 12 strings. In time I think we can help you locate the parts to make it complete again. I will keep a vigilant watch for you.
The Celebrity-III neck, K0224 looks like it found an interesting home. What is the story there and how do you like it? Does it play well? What kind of body is it attached to?
The bass is also very interesting. Z0114 is a Celebrity Bass serial number. It does look like a Celebrity bass neck that someone has added a Ventures logo to. Any idea on that? How does it play? What kind of body is it attached to?

Re: Hello from Germany
Hi Sarah and Dennis,
there's not so much of a story on the two necks: I've got them both quite cheap on eBay back in 2001 or 2002.
In summer of 2001 I've built the blue German carve Ventures II body to match my 1965 Ventures II neck. Then I got an original body of the right age, so the blue one needed a neck. I was able to buy those two Celebrity necks quite cheap on eBay, so again a neck was left that needed a body ...
I really did enjoy to make the bodies back in summer of 2001
The vibrato is an original NOS that I got from Andy Moseley (it was not cheap) and together with an August 1965 neck (also from Andy in 2003) it's waiting to get an appropriate slab body ...
See ya, Max
