In the 60s Fender made a 'Palamino' 6-string and 'Shenandoah' 12-string with the distinctive scroll headstock (I think that is what was meant by 'hockey stick' above?). Both were fine instruments, though you don't see them much these days.

I was talking to Sam Bracken a few weeks ago about his old Palamino, which he sold years ago - and regretted selling it ever since!

An Irish trio from the late 60s/early 70s, the Grehan Sisters (are they still around?) had a Shenandoah, which I remember had a glorious sound. Mind you, at the time I only had my Eko Ranger!

In the 70s Fender started 'badging' cheap imports, which were never particularly good - although there were occasional ones that stood out from the rest. More by fluke, I would suggest!
