If you think you may want a 12 string in the future, you can take off 6 strings of a 12 string and just play it that way. these were on a rickenbacker that i just acquired, and look to be hardly used at all. The Model 325C64 duplicates the Model 325 as produced in 1964complete with semi-hollow Maple body, re-shaped body and headstock, three vintage-style pickups, and Accent Vibrato. 1/4' truss rod adjuster for rickenbacker bass or guitar - neck wrench fits standard rickenbacker 1/4' truss rods. The British Invasion of 1964 initiated a rise in popularity of the model 325. until they did and I can’t unsee them now. made in the united states, comes with rickenbacker hard case, rickenbacker cloth, and rickenbacker manual. Note: 90s hi gains can be really hot (14k even!) Late 80s/90s toasters = basically hi gains (such as on the McGuinn model, ironically) (actually pretty sought after) Vintage (and current “scatter wound”) toasters = Petty, Classic 12 String jangle etc Hi gains = REM, early Smiths, Smithereens The carved top is heavier and has more sustain. The difference in sound is due to the pickups, hi-gain vs modern toaster, and the top, carved vs double bound semi hollow. The neck feels the same and both were well built. My current Rickenbacker is a ‘90s 360-6v64 and it plays like the ‘80s 360-6 that I had years ago. Like a Gretsch with modern Gretsch ‘buckers instead of Filtertron pickups. The hi-gains are not bad pickups, they’re just not the classic Rickenbacker sound. The modern toasters (Which are basically hi-gains without the mushroom poles) are between the hi-gain and vintage. I have had 3 Rickenbackers, and the vintage toasters are where it’s at. That said, I’m always surprised at how “easy” it is to play my wife’s JM jaguar. I have a 325 that i use when I want that quintessential 'rhythm guitar' sound.

(Then a bridge screw falls into the carpet as if on cue).Įspecially as Fender offsets are getting more expensive by the day (used AVRIs are now $1500?), a used 330/360 seems like a bargain, just be prepared for an adjustment period. Thanks for everything you've contributed to the Rickenbacker community over the years. Sorry to see you go, Chris It's understandably difficult to keep a retail operation thriving, especially with a brick-and-mortar location. I’ve found the feel and workmanship (with some exceptions and quirks) to be outstanding, making a USA fender seem like a cheaper assembly line guitar. POTR was certainly my Pick of the Dealers. It chimes and jangles and swirls more than rocks. Odd voicings and open drone strings feel right somehow. Very much in the same sound family/ecological niche as a Jazzmaster, but seemingly from a different continent (if that makes sense). Semi-hollowbody maple body without soundhole feels lightweight and balanced. Comfortable and compact 21' scale length. I’ve been using a 360 or 330 as my main guitar for years now.
