Description
What’s special about this guitar: This is a stunning, vintage 1965 Rickenbacker 360 12-string guitar with an impeccable sound and playability. This guitar has a gorgeous maple top with birdseye figuring giving it a wonderful 3-dimensional look. This guitar also has the shattered glass inlays which also look 3-dimensional and give the guitar a classy vintage vibe! The natural finish has developed a slight patina over the years giving the finish a perfectly aged look. The tuners are unoriginal but function great and the selector switch has been replaced. Aside form those two things, this Ric is all original!
Condition: This guitar is very clean and in excellent shape for a 1965 Rickenbacker!

The tuners and pickups selector switch are unoriginal however the original switch is included in the case. All electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.
