1958 Rickenbacker 360 Guitar



This is a vintage 1958 Rickenbacker model number 360 electric guitar that was made in America in Santa Ana, California. These were constructed with a semi-hollow maple body, maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard and have a feel and tone all their own. The single coil pickups produced a kind of twangy bright tone used by the Beatles and so many other bands it would take all day to list them. The early ones from the late 1950's are considered the best they made and are fairly hard to find, so if you can score one, keep it. See ya, and be sure to check back to see more Cool Old Junk...
