Description SquareTrade © AP6.0 Add Me to Your Favorite Sellers This is an extremely rare and original 1960 Rickenbacker 360F with checkboard binding on the top and back. According to the Rickenbacker shipping totals, there were only 40 made in this color between 1958 and 1961. It has a great playing neck with good frets. It's all original and 100% complete with the only exception being the bridge cover. It even has its original hardshell case and polishing cloth. There are two cracks in the sides; one formed from the pressure of the upper strap button while the other goes underneath the jack plate. In addition to that, the seam on the bottom edge has some slight separation. These issues do not seem to affect the structural integrity of this rare vintage guitar as it's still very solid and sound. Cosmetically, there is a lot of typical finish checking, scratches, and play wear. All electronics work and sound GREAT as it provides a very unique tone. All solder joints remain original and unbroken. Highest bidder pays highest bid + shipping.
