1966 Rickenbacker 330/12 (two pickkups, no vibrato)

This super rare Mapleglo thin-body twelve-string guitar with pointed horns weighs just 7.50 lbs. Two "toaster" pickups with outputs of 7.42k and 7.55k. Hollow maple body with a single "cat's-eye" soundhole, three-piece maple/walnut/maple neck with a nice medium profile, rosewood fretboard with white dot inlays. Rickenbacker bridge and "R" tailpiece. Original Rickenbacker silver hardshell case. The unique 12 string sound of the sixties…The factory introduced the genuine Fireglo finish in 1960…[and] after the initial shock of its stunning effect, Fireglo became a universal favorite and the trademark color for Rickenbacker guitars…In 1964 Rickenbacker changed the body style of the Models 360-375 significantly…The company achieved the new shape by rounding the top edge on the face of the guitar's body…The new design did not allow for binding on the top front edge of the guitar, however bound tear drop sound holes became standard.
