1977 Rickenbacker 450/12 Flame Maple Body Vintage Electric 12-String – Very Good Condition

For your consideration is this 1977 Rickenbacker 450/12, a super cool vintage 12-string with tons of classic Rickenbacker character. This one features a beautiful flamed maple body and delivers that unmistakable bright, chimey, very “Ricky” sound these guitars are known for.

Overall, this guitar is in very good condition with some dings and cosmetic wear from age and use, but nothing out of the ordinary for a vintage piece. It has been played and enjoyed, yet remains a very solid and great-playing example. The neck feels good, playability is excellent, and there is little to no fret wear.

The bridge pickup has been replaced with an unknown brand pickup, but it honestly sounds great and fits the guitar well. The original bridge pickup is included with the sale and is in working condition, which is a nice bonus for the next owner.

The serial number is somewhat difficult to read QE2024.

A great-playing vintage Rickenbacker 12-string with the look, feel, and sound you want.

Condition, Shipping, & Setup Details:

I specialize in selling pre-owned guitars, which typically show signs of regular use. My commitment to quality is unwavering, and I ensure that any guitar I offer for sale is free from problems, unless explicitly mentioned. With a history of selling guitars dating back to the 1980s, I pride myself on selecting only the finest instruments.


It's important to understand that our shipping fees encompass more than just the cost of the box. I guarantee professional packaging using UPS-approved materials to safeguard your purchase. This typically includes new, heavy-duty boxes rated at 275lbs, 3-inch wide brown fiberglass reinforced tape, ensuring the guitar is well-protected. Additionally, every guitar shipped is fully insured for its sale price.


The guitars are set up according to my personal preferences (Medium Height), and I strictly avoid guitars with neck issues. However, guitar setup is highly subjective, and it is advisable to have it adjusted by a trusted local technician who understands your specific playstyle and preferences.
