The Rickenbacker 360 is considered one of the if not the most iconic Rickenbacker guitar. Both the 12-string (360-12) and 6-string version of this guitar helped define pop music in the '60s most notably as used by the Beatles. Introduced in 1958, the 360 was given a thinner body in 1961 and a new control and pickguard layout in 1963. In 1964, the body was updated with more rounded horns and new binding style, though the original styling was also offered in later reissues. The DCM edition of the 360 was released in celebration of the 75th anniversary of Rickenbacker with a unique dark cherry finish and high-end hardware appointments.
