Description
A nearly 60-year old beauty with a cool, true vintage vibe. This 360 12-string model has a brilliant, acoustic resonance, coupled with a rich tone that extends from dark, earthy and organic up to bell-like chimes. The Fireglo finish has mellowed over the years, showing off some pretty figuring in the body & neck. Professionally set up and ready to play straight out of the case.
Cosmetic Condition: Good honest play wear - various nicks, chips, dents and dings; surface scratches, weather checking and some finish wear. Overall the guitar has a great look to it with a beautiful patina.
Neck: Slender profile maple and walnut neck with nicely aged cream binding and black side-dots. Rosewood fingerboard with stunning crushed pearloid inlays. Original small frets are in great shape with hardly any wear. Slotted headstock with Kluson Deluxe tuners in good working condition. 1 5/8" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rods function properly.
Body: Semi-hollow maple body with bound "cat's eye" and checkered back binding. "R" tailpiece with six-saddle adjustable bridge, double-notched for 12-strings. Split-level white pickguard is in great shape with no cracks. Guitar weighs 7 lbs 8.3 oz. Nice weight and exceptionally resonant!
Pickups: Original "toaster top" single coils sound fabulous and deliver that classic Rickenbacker tone. Dual volume and tone controls with blend knob; 3-way toggle switch. Pots date to '66 and all electronics are in good working condition.
Case: Original hardshell case included.
