Description

What makes this guitar special:  Super sexy 12-string in classic Fireglo finish.  This gorgeous 'cresting wave' solidbody exudes all the grace & charm of Rickenbacker's more famous semi-hollow bodies, but with an added punch for you more serious rockers!  A semi-chunky neck with thick rosewood fingerboard makes this beauty a real dream to play, not to mention she comes with a pro set up from Cream City Music & ready for action straight out of the case!

Cosmetic Condition:  Great shape for its age with some mild play wear - minor nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & light buckle rash.  There's a small crack in the pickguard near the neck pickup, but nothing major.  Overall the guitar has a nice clean look to it & sounds fantastic!

Neck:  Nicely rounded maple neck with thick rosewood fingerboard & cream dot inlays.  Original frets show some light wear, but have plenty of life in them.  Slotted headstock with Kluson Deluxe nickel tuners in perfect working condition.  1 9/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. 

Body:  'Cresting wave' solid maple body with neck-thru design.  The original bridge plate was replaced with a stoptail so of course there is no serial number.  Compensated bridge & single-ply white plexi pickguard.  Guitar weighs 7 lbs 8.4 oz.

Pickups:  A pair of Rickenbacker Hi-Gain single coils deliver that instantly recognizable tone we all love.  Dual volume & tone controls with 3-way toggle switch.  Pots date to '74 & all electronics are in good working condition.

Case:  Original hardshell case included.
