QR Code Link to This Post
The Roger McGuinn signature model of the 370/12 twelve string guitar was built with personal input from Roger McGuinn. Only 1000 of these were made in '88 & '89, celebrating Roger McGuinn's 12-string prowess with seminal folk rock band The Byrds. The guitar features toaster pickups, and individual 12 string saddles. 60's style 21 fret neck with full width inlays and checkered binding in back.
This version is in the Maplego finish, and is #64 of 1000, made in April 1988 (S/N D187XX). Really beautiful, excellent condition. Only reason I'm selling is, because I have another 370/12RM that was owned by a famous rocker, and I can't justify having 2!
This model does not have the built-in compressor, but I am including a classic Janglebox Compressor to get that Byrds sound that we love. The Janglebox compressor is actually a lot quieter than the circuit that's in most of the 370/12RM signature guitars.
This instrument comes with the following:
* Original hardshell case
* Certificate of Authenticity and Origin
* Original Warranty card
* Rickenbacker promo brochure that includes the 370/12RM, and Strings / Accessories promo sheet
* Operating instructions and schematic
* Allen wrenches for adjusting the toaster pickups
* The Janglebox compressor pedal, that lets you get the compressor/straight-into-board sound that you're looking for.
This Rickenbacker 370/12 is one of only 1000 limited edition models and features a semi-hollow Maple body with a three-piece Maple/Walnut neck and Rosewood fingerboard. Built to emulate the distinct rock sound of the '60s created by the Byrds' guitarist, it has three Rickenbacker Toaster-style Hi-Gain pickups. It has a slightly shorter 24.75" scale length, and a nice 1.63" nut width. Appointments include a Roger McGuinn signature pickguard, cream checkerboard binding, vintage-style tuners, shark fin inlays and an R-tailpiece. A magnificent-sounding guitar, this limited edition Rickenbacker Roger McGuinn signature guitar is getting harder and harder to find, and this is a great opportunity to get your hands on one! This guitar is in excellent shape with light play wear, and light finish checking, rated at 9/10. All original and free of any breaks, cracks or repairs. Included with this guitar is an original hard-shell case.
