1983 Rickenbacker 620/12 Midnight Blue in good overall condition. No fret buzz and all original. The crack in the back of the headstock doesn’t affect the wood, it’s just a lacquer crack.
The Rickenbacker 620/12 is part of the 600 series of guitars which all share the distinctive “cresting wave” styled body based on an innovative design from the 1950’s. The Rickenbacker 620/12 features pearloid triangular fret markers, a thick rosewood fret board, a maple body with neck-thru construction, and maple neck. The 620 also comes standard with a stereo output jack. The guitar’s pickups are twin single coil ‘Hi-gains’. The Rickenbacker 620/12 sports the Rickenbacker signature, an ‘R’ style floating tailpiece.
Some guitarists have consistently used them including Christopher Owens from Girls or Chris Urbanowicz from Editors. Mike Campbell from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers acquired his first 620/12 12-string (made in December 1963, actually called a prototype 625/12) in 1977, and has used it on hits such as Listen to her heart and Here comes my girl.
The Rickenbacker 620/12 is electronically engineered to the exacting standards of the 300 series, complete with Rickenbacker’s own high gain pickups and stereo output. Successfully retaining the balance from the original specifications, the 620 is another fine example of Rickenbacker quality workmanship.
Rickenbacker International Corporation is an electric string instrument manufacturer based in Santa Ana, California.
