Rickenbacker 360/12 12-string Electric Guitar - Jetglo Reviews
The Rickenbacker 360/12. 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-inspired High Gain pickups to its own amplifier, or straight into a recording medium for instant stereo guitar. The Rick 360/12 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.

Great guitar with a hellish string stringing process
I've always been curious about the 360/12. My concern was the playability as far as nut width and neck profile. I don't regard myself as having fat fingers or anything but they're not slim either. In addition, I tend to prefer slightly thicker necks. I read my share of reviews from people who shied away from this guitar because of the neck and nut width. I was pleasantly surprised to find it quite comfortable to play and, as far as the sound, it's the real deal.
The thing that really surprised me was how incredibly clumsy the restringing process is for the strings whose tuners are behind the headstock. Man, it's not impossible and there are plenty of videos about it but I was surprised at how tricky it is to do. Well, I'm sure that, with practice, it'll get a bit easier… although probably not much :)
