Description

Edit description

Production of the 460 began in 1961 and ended in 1985. The 460 was a more deluxe version of the 450 - it had a bound neck and body and triangle fingerboard inlays. From 1962 this model was available with stereo-output - although some earlier 460 models also had it as a special option. The 460 was also available with an optional extra pickup.

On some 60's models, binding can cause the paint to darken over time, affecting the aesthetic.

User experience

0 0

Owners of later models, like the 1979 Rickenbacker 450/12, admire the look of binding inlays, unaware of their earlier existence on models like the 460.

The only other guitar that I played much in Birdman was a Rickenbacker 460 with Gibson “toaster top” humbuckers. I got that guitar off of Ben Miller, in Ann Arbor.
