Vintage Vault: 1979 Rickenbacker 362/12 Doubleneck - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The Rickenbacker 362/12 Doubleneck is a rare gem that doubles the fun for 12-string aficionados. With a mapleglo finish and classic Hi Gain pickups, this vintage piece is a testament to Rickenbacker's adventurous spirit. While some may find its electronics complex, the rewound pickups by Lindy Fralin ensure authentic tone. A quintessential blend of the 360's features with added binding, this guitar's allure is undeniable. Collectors should note its resale value, typically ranging from $6,000 to $8,000, making it a pricey but worthwhile investment for those seeking a piece of guitar history.
