1992 Rickenbacker 360 WB OS Body Amber Fireglo, Near-Mint w/ Case
Up for sale, a 1992 Rickenbacker 360 WB OS in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Featuring Rickenbacker’s “OS” (Old-Style) 360 body shape, double bound (WB = With Binding) with pointed cutaways, just like the guitar given to George Harrison in 1964 by Rickenbacker president Francis C. Hall, this Rickenbacker blends vintage construction with modern playability, outfitted with a pair of Rickenbacker’s Hi-Gain pickups and Schaller-made tuning machines.
The 360’s semi-hollow maple construction and X bracing delivers a smooth, barking natural acoustic tone that translates through the pickups, offering plenty of clear treble cut. Plugged in, this 360 delivers quintessential Rickenbacker sparkle and jangle; even though these pickups are dubbed "Hi-Gain" by Rickenbacker, their modest single coil output allows for both round, bouncy low end and snappy highs. This 360 weighs 7lbs 12oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Fireglo finish is notably dark and well-saturated, highlighting subtle bubble figuring in the maple on top, and exhibits limited horizontal checking. This is a well-kept example, with just a few tiny nicks and scuffs. The smooth gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
The original black tolex hardshell case is included.
