+ shipping

Up for sale, a 1990 Rickenbacker 360/12V64 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case, paperwork, and cleaning cloth. Featuring Rickenbacker’s “OS” Old-Style 360 body shape, just like the guitar given to George Harrison in 1964 by Rickenbacker president Francis C. Hall, this example predates the V64’s appearance in the Rickenbacker catalog (1991). Vintage-correct appointments include a double-bound body, hot toaster top single coil pickups, a lucite truss rod cover, and vintage-style plastics.

The V64's semi-hollow maple construction and X bracing delivers a smooth, authoritative natural acoustic tone that translates through the pickups, with all the shimmer and brightness inherent to maple as a tonewood. Wound hotter than later toaster reissues, these pickups deliver plenty of sparkle, articulation and 12 string chime, with that quintessential Ric jangle. This guitar weighs 7lbs 13oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

Exceedingly well-kept, there are just a few tiny dings on the bold gloss Fireglo finish. The gloss on the neck profile is flawless save for localized rack rash behind fret 9 that has no impact on overall playability.

The original black tolex hardshell case is included, along with the hangtags/paperwork and Ric-branded cleaning cloth.
