Members deadllama Posted July 6, 2012 Members Share Posted July 6, 2012 I'm about to lose my damn mind waiting on the UPS man to get here with my new (to me) Rickenbacker 360. Black hardware, black binding, Mapleglo. A gorgeous piece of wood. Lots of pictures at the original listing at Olivia's Vintage. Their listing says it's a 1991, the Rickenbacker Register says it's from 4/92, but what's a few months between friends? (Yes, I know the action is ridiculously high in the pictures. I called and spoke with their tech before I bought it. It was set up for slide when it came in, and the pictures were taken before their tech set it up.)

Members BlackPatch Posted July 6, 2012 Members Share Posted July 6, 2012 I've never been into the Rick's bodyshape. Their basses are a whole different story, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members axegrinder Posted July 6, 2012 Members Share Posted July 6, 2012 That guitar is fine looking, even by Ric standards! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members deadllama Posted July 7, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 7, 2012 It plays like a dream. And sounds really, really huge through my AC15. Man. I think this might be the one -- I wanted it to be. That's why I sold so much stuff to buy it. I've always wanted a 360, and now that I have this one, I'll never be without one again.

Members JRicoC Posted July 7, 2012 Members Share Posted July 7, 2012 Okay, so stop playing and start taking pictures ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members deadllama Posted July 7, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 7, 2012 Here she is in my living room: Back to playing. The Olivia's listing page has lots of super-close-up pictures from before I bought it. Fun fact: this is the first guitar I've had with Schaller tuners old enough to say "Made in W. Germany".

Members z28talon Posted July 7, 2012 Members Share Posted July 7, 2012 Oh yeah. Ric and an AC15! Jackpot. That's a beautiful Ric. Rather unusual to get black instead of white for the pickguard and accents. Looks great. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been doing it on the bass side of things forever, but they didn't make a whole lot of guitars with the black trim and hardware -- at least, they didn't make them that way for very long. White trim and silver hardware is a lot more prevalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
