Rickenbacker 360 Electric Guitar Jetglo

Rickenbacker 360 Electric Guitar Jetglo

Subtly updated through the years, this Deluxe hollow body with its special contour around the entire body perimeter, is still perhaps the most comfortable guitar of all. The bound body and Rosewood fingerboard, inlayed with triangular pearloid markers, provide an exceptionally attractive appearance. Stereo output is standard. Also available with an additional pickup

The Renegades of Handmade

Each Rick 360 is handmade in Santa Ana, California, and because of that there are relatively few 360's out in the wild. While that might mean waiting on the finish of your choice, you can also count on an added level of respect and deference when you show up to the gig or session and crack open your hardshell case to reveal your treasured 360 waiting inside.

Construction, Construction, What's Your Function?

Part of the Rickenbacker 300 series, the 360 adheres to Rickenbacker design traditions while blending in a handful of updates sure to please the guitarist of today. The first thing you'll notice is the semi-hollow design of the deluxe body. Made of Maple, the body has a rounded top edge and body back for the utmost in comfort, and is handsomely bound. Unlike most semi-hollow electric guitars, the sound hole in the 360 is a unique bound crescent moon shape, a very welcome departure from the standard violin-style f-hole. The pickups on the facade of this beauty are two hi-gain single coils of Rickenbacker design, controlled by an array of knobs and a switch on the multi-tiered plexiglass pickguard. Those pickups are wired up to two dual, stereo outputs, allowing you to split your signal in any way you see fit. The bound triple-ply Maple and Walnut neck is set into the semi-hollow body, and the 24 frets on the 24 and 3/4-inch scale length neck will make you feel right at home. The Rosewood fretboard is finished with a clear varnish and inlayed with triangle fret markers, and like many other Rickenbackers, dual truss rods ensure stable tuning and rigid neck strength for as long as you own the instrument. Speaking of tuning stability, further adorning the already handsome headstock are a set of three to a side Schaller tuners, and if you know anything about machine heads, you know that these are the tops (pun intended.)The bridge and tailpiece are an interesting duo indeed: while the tweakable 6-saddle bridge might not turn any heads, the "R" tailpiece sure will, proudly announcing that this instrument is a Rickenbacker, head to toe.
