About this listing
Beautiful overall condition. She has minimal wear and is remarkable for a guitar built 60 years ago in October of 1966. The wear is mostly depressions or small mars in the wood. The finish has the patina one would expect in a well cared for vintage instrument. There a few small chips on the top edge of the headstock. I've done my best to show her overall condition with the 25 photos. More photos are available upon request. Comes with 2014 Bill of sales from Chicago Music Exchange and original silver hard shell case. The sound that comes from this Rickenbacker definitely epitomizes the sound and style of the 1960s British Invasion and folk-rock movements.This vintage 1966 Rickenbacker 360 in the iconic Fireglo finish is a stunning, highly collectible instrument that is in very good condition, this guitar shows a beautiful balance of clean preservation and authentic vintage character.Visual Appearance and FinishFireglo Finish: The vibrant sunburst gradients seamlessly from a rich, deep cherry red at the edges into a warm, golden-amber center.
