Description
What makes this guitar special: Well here's a Ric you don't see very often - a 1986 360/12 Old Style body with all black hardware! The Mapleglo finish has aged wonderfully into more of a golden color which makes the all black appointments really pop! Not only is this beauty all original, but it plays & sounds absolutely fantastic! Without even plugging it in, it delivers an incredible acoustic resonance that is unmistakable Rickenbacker. The double Hi-Gain single coils emit those instantly recognizable clear, bell-like tones that we've all come to love from these gorgeous guitars. Professionally set up & inspected by the experts at Cream City Music, so she's ready for action straight out of the case! This is definite must-have for any Rickenbacker enthusiast!
