Absolutely amazing 1965 Rickenbacker 365 OS in Mapleglo. Excellent condition and a great player. I purchased this guitar a little over a year ago from Chicago Music Exchange and have loved it dearly, I am only selling it to finance another vintage Rickenbacker I have purchased.
All original, no repairs. The guitar has an intermediate crackle in the full range input jack. I have no reason to believe it is anything serious, I just haven't had the time to have a professional look into the issue. There are ID numbers etched into the wood and jack-plate. I was told by Chicago Music Exchange that this was probably done long ago as an inventory ID for a school or military band. Slight shrinkage in the binding (see photo), but a luthier told me it's nothing to worry about.
According to Smith's "The Complete History of Rickenbacker Guitars" there were only 4 Maplego 365 OS models produced in 1965. Perfect piece for any collection, and a great player. Sad to see it go, but happy if it helps me pay for my dream Ric. Please feel free to send any questions my way!
