Rickenbacker 360/12C63 12-String Electric Semi-Hollow - Fireglo Reviews
The Rickenbacker 360/12C63. With its rounded horns, contoured top edge that rolls into back binding, innovative solid/slotted headstock design, and iconic shark fin fingerboard inlays, there's no mistaking it for anything else. And then there's the sound: from the Beatles to the Byrds, you've heard that unmistakable jangle on countless classic recordings. This venerable 12-string semi-hollowbody electric guitar has seen changes in the ensuing half century, and today's model is more playable and awesome-sounding than ever. One of the coolest upgrades is the Rick-O-Sound dual-mono output that sends each of the vintage-style single-coil Toaster Top pickups to its own amplifier or straight into a recording medium for instant stereo guitar. The Rick 360/12C63 was beloved by artists such as George Harrison and Roger McGuinn for its shimmering chord voicings, and Sweetwater is sure contemporary players will savor its inimitable tone as well.

The Standard by Which All Others Should be Measured
It's a Ricky 12-String. While there aren't a lot of songs that call for the crisp, clean, cutting yet melodic tone of a 12-string, when you need it, you need it and there's no better 12-string than the Rickenbacker 360/12C63.
I've had several 12-string guitars over my long history, but ever since George Harrison introduced us to the incredibly tone, I've been chasing it only to be disappointed. The only way to get that great Ricky tone is with a Ricky.
Yup, it's a little pricey for your average guitar guy, but my advice would be, stop wasting your money on the imitators. It took me 54 years to get there. If you want great 12-String tone, you want a Ricky. Accept no substitutes!

Wowza!! I got it a week ago today, March 1st 2021. Man its everything I'd hoped for, perfect finish and sound. Lowered the bridge tuned it up and its Byrds and Beatles tunes time in the studio. Plays so much better than my first electric 12 string and it plays great. It's the most I've ever payed for a guitar but worth every dime. Thank you Sweetwater and Kevin for your service.

Rickenbacker 360/12C63 Fireglo
Ever since I first heard "Ticket to Ride" many years ago, and saw George Harrison playing this Rick, I have wanted one. The minute I strummed this beauty (it arrived in tune, by the way), I knew I'd made a good decision. The sound, craftmanship, and feel are all amazing. If you want to bring back the sound of the Beatles, the Byrds, Tom Petty, and many others, this is the guitar to get. I often buy and sell guitars, always seeking something new or different, but this one is a keeper! Also, a shout-out to Brian Kerns, my long time Sales Engineer, for his advice, friendliness, knowledge, and help in securing this magical instrument.
