Rare 1988 Rickenbacker 350 Time Capsule.
Item History & Price
You're looking at an amazing find: A vintage 1988 Rickenbacker 350 (full scale neck) - It is NOT a reissue. A handful of these guitars were made through the 80's, and featured 24 frets to the body, a chambered maple body with a maple cap, three high-gain pickups, a thick slab of finished rosewood for the fretboard. As you can see, this Ric 350 is finished in natural maple (typically reserved for the nicer-grained bodies and necks).
This exceptional instrument i...s a time capsule. It was purchased new in 1989 (the serial # places its construction date as December 1988), played a handful of times, and then stored away for 30 years. It really looks like it was just made. Incredible for a 30+ year old guitar.
Everything is straight, solid and original. Super rich chimey tones that you expect from a Ric of this vintage. I was pleasantly surprised by the range of tonality that I could dial out of this guitar...not just a one-trick-pony like some Rics. The three pickup configuration and volume and tone knobs really give you a wide palette to work with. The only thing I found is that one of the tuning pegs is a bit tight. I'm sure it can be loosened up, I just didn't feel like messing with it.
