1997 Rickenbacker 360/12V64 Vintage Reissue 12 String Electric Guitar Fireglo
Item History & Price
Up for sale, a 1997 Rickenbacker 360/12V64 in near mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Rickenbacker's first reissue of the "OS" Old-Style 360 body shape with vintage spec appointments, the 360/12V64 features a double bound body, higher output toaster top single coil pickups, lucite truss rod cover, and notable birdseye figuring in the maple on the top of the instrument. Wound hotter than later toaster reissues, these pickups pair very well with the bracing patte...rn of the V64 which delivers a smooth, clear sound acoustically that translates through the pickups with plenty of sparkle and 12 string chime. The guitar weighs 7lbs 9oz and has been professionally setup with comfortable action.
The maple neck has a medium C shaped profile which has moderate shoulder and consistent depth as you travel up the fretboard, measuring .893” deep at both the 1st and 12th frets. The thick slab rosewood fretboard has white binding, red side dots, and triangular pearl inlays that extend all the way to the fretboard edges. The fretboard also has a 10" radius, notably flatter than Rickenbacker's later C63 reissues. The frets are flawless on the 24 3/4" scale, and the 1 5/8" nut has the string courses perfectly spaced for easy playability. The headstock features a vintage-style lucite truss rod cover and a full compliment of Ric Deluxe tuning machines which turn smoothly and hold pitch as they should.
All of the electronics work as intended, with Rickenbacker's traditional five knob layout and dual mono outputs. The chrome hardware and plastic parts are practically perfect, and in terms of cosmetic wear, the guitar has barely a scratch on it. The neck profile is flawless, the Fireglo gloss lacquer has a bold burst, and the maple on the top and back has varied figuring, with birdseye on the top and quilt figuring on the bass side on the back.
The original hardshell case is included.
