Full Description
View Full DescriptionA 12-string legend
Rickenbacker defied conventions despite the immense popularity of the 360 model. With its offset hollow body, all-Maple construction, and Hi-Gain pickups, this guitar caught the attention of iconic bands like The Beatles, The Who, and The Byrds. They propelled it to mainstream success, incorporating its distinctive sound into their music.
Rickenbacker, unlike many other companies, haven't had to adapt their guitars much to new eras. The 360 has an unconventional shape but the contoured body is designed carefully to not interrupt the sound holes or your natural playing style. The tone knobs allow you to adjust the sound to your own specifications, but there's also a knob for Rickenbacker's own presets which get you straight to some of their signature styles. For the classic 60s sound that inspired generations of popular music, the Rickenbacker 360 is the only way to go.
Toaster Top single coils
The Toaster Top single coil pickups are an integral facet of the Rickenbacker's unique sonic character. Renowned for their articulate, bright and clear tonal output, these pickups are beloved by guitarists for their ability to cut through a mix and deliver the distinctive, chime-like tones that Rickenbacker is famous for.
Coupled with the warmth of the guitar's semi-hollow body, the Toaster Tops create a sound that's resonant, full-bodied and rich with harmonic overtones, particularly when played through a tube amplifier. Whether strumming dense chords or picking out intricate melodies, players can expect a responsive, dynamic sound that embodies the spirit of '60s rock 'n' roll.
Classic 360 Rickenbacker appointments
The 360/12 C63 is packed with iconic Rickenbacker features that make it a must-have for collectors and players alike. The guitar's distinctive headstock, featuring the instantly recognisable 'R' inlay, marks it as an unmistakable Rickenbacker instrument. The trapeze tailpiece adds to its vintage aesthetic, while also enhancing the guitar's resonance and sustain.
The double-bound semi-hollow body is an authentic touch that harks back to the original '60s models, providing players with a comfortable playing experience and plenty of tonal versatility. Combine these features with the signature Toaster Top pickups, and you've got a guitar that's both visually stunning and sonically incredible.
