A beautiful example of the legendary Rickenbacker 381/V69 in the classic Mapleglo finish. This 1997 vintage example is in excellent condition and has spent the vast majority of its life safely stored in its case, seeing only occasional studio use when that unmistakable Rickenbacker “chime” was called for. As a result, it remains exceptionally clean and well-preserved.

Equipped with the highly desirable vintage-style toaster pickups, this guitar delivers the articulate sparkle, harmonic richness, and airy top-end that made Rickenbacker famous. The sound is lively, three-dimensional, and unmistakably musical — from shimmering clean passages to rich, jangly rhythm work. Acoustically, the guitar is remarkably resonant and alive in the hands, with a responsiveness that immediately stands out. The carved body design of the 381 and checker binding adds an extra level of elegance and sophistication compared to more common Rickenbacker models, with beautiful contours and visual depth that make it as striking to look at as it is to play.

A superb example for the collector, studio player, or discerning guitarist seeking an iconic vintage-inspired Rickenbacker with outstanding tone, condition, and presence.
