About this listing
For sale is a VERY RARE 1958 Rickenbacker 360 Capri Semi-Hollow Body Electric Guitar. It was excellently refinished in 2015 to its original Mapleglo natural finish with a nice, lightly ambered patina. The sides, top and back have a beautiful grain. There are 2 toaster top pick-ups (replaced with new ones in 2015.) There are shark fin inlays on the fretboard, and original cat’s eye knobs. The gold lucite pick guard is in flawless condition. Every part is original except the 2 pu's and the RIC case. The serial # is 2V321. It comes with a Silver Tolex hard shell case in very good condition.Tuners are Kluson Deluxe, and it has a single truss rod, unlike modern RIC’s with 2 truss rods. The headstock contains a lucite Rickenbacker logo.This guitar has a fairly slim neck that is slightly thicker than typical mid-60s models with the earlier squared heel. Overall length is 39 3/4 in. (101 cm.), 15 in. (38.1 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 2 1/16 in. (5.2 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 24 3/4 in. (629 mm.). Width of nut is 1 5/8 in. (41 mm.).This guitar is currently set up with .010 strings, making it a real trip back to the early '60s sonically with the expected classic Rickenbacker sound as heard on countless British invasion era records.This is one of the rarest Capris you’ll find in outstanding condition. It plays and sounds like a dream!
