1983 Rickenbacker 360/12BWB 12-string

This is a very cool & rare 1983 Rickenbacker 360/12BWB w/a Double Bound body a la George Harrison in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This Rick features a stunning dark Fireglo lacquer finish. This 42 year old Rickenbacker was their 1st attempt at going back in time to make a vintage type guitar & it is quite impressive. Tonally, there’s nothing that can match the iconic jangle, chime, and shimmer of the Rickenbacker 12 string design, and there’s plenty of warmth and sonic variety available between the two original “Toaster” pickups. It’s got a pair of white stacked pickgards & its famous “R: tailpiece. These pickups are actually very conservatively wound with modest output that keeps the top end snap and sparkle of the Rickenbacker sound very present in the mix. It has a vibrant and clear acoustic voice. The Rickenbacker 12-string guitar has always been a steadfast factor for any 60’s Rock Music Fans as every band had someone playing one ie George Harrison, Tom Petty & Pete Townsend to name a few. Completed in December 1983, she’s truly near mint overall, completely original & she comes complete w/her original beat Silver Tolex/Blue lined molded hard case.
