Up for sale, a 1988 Rickenbacker 360 in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. This Rickenbacker has a wonderfully resonant acoustic tone via the semi-hollow maple body, with plenty of chime and jangle via the pair of Hi-Gain single coil pickups. The tone has great warmth and nuance, and when strumming a chord with authority, the instrument has a clear, cutting quality, inherent in maple as a tonewood. Lightweight at 7lbs 8oz, this Rickenbacker 360 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
