A rare chance to own an original 1966 Rickenbacker 345/1998, the Rose Morris export variant of the US 345—distinguished by its classic F-hole instead of the American “cat’s eye”. These hardly ever surface, and this one brings serious rock ’n’ roll pedigree.

Original toaster-top pickups that sound every bit as chimey and alive as you’d hope. Guitar playes extremely well, great action, truss rod working perfectly.

All electrics (pots, switches etc.) as factory; original. 

Possibly, this model originally featured either a flat plate trapeze tailpiece or even a tremolo. 

The current Rickenbacker tailpiece (R) is a replacement. 

Honest playwear throughout—fretboard wear, nicks, scratches—nothing that gets in the way of that unmistakable Rick feel and tone.

OHSC in great condition

Additional Details

  • Frets are in great condition, divots in the fretboard from the first to twelfth positions (result of play-wear only, no damage).
  • No breaks or repairs.
  • Small neck ding near the heel joint.
  • This guitar sounds absolutely amazing—a truly inspiring piece.
