Description
Only 1000 of these were made in '88 & '89, celebrating Roger McGuinn's 12-string prowess with seminal folk rock band The Byrds. This gorgeous example is finished in Jetglo & features checkered binding on the back of the body. The three "toaster top" single coils sound fantastic & deliver rich, shimmering tones that seem to chime for days. This model does not have the built-in compressor, but still offers that signature Rickenbacker jangle we all love & adore. Professionally inspected & set up by the experts here at Cream City Music so it's ready to play straight out of the case.
Cosmetic Condition: Really nice shape for being over 30 years old - various minor nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & basically general mild play wear. Overall the guitar looks great & has a super cool vibe to it.
Neck: Slender profile maple & walnut neck with nicely aged cream binding & black side-dots. Beautiful rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl "shark tooth" inlays that stretch across the full width of the fretboard. Frets are in great shape with no wear. Slotted headstock with Schaller Deluxe tuners in perfect working condition. 1 5/8" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rods work fine.
Body: Semi-hollow maple body with bound slash hole & checkered back binding. "R" tailpiece with 12-saddle adjustable bridge. Split-level white pickguard with Roger McGuinn Limited Edition logo. Guitar weighs 7 lbs 8.4 oz.
