Rickenbacker 360

Rickenbacker 360 is an electric, semi-acoustic guitar that is part of the Rickenbacker 300 Series. Many Rickenbacker guitar features are included, such as a three-ply maple/walnut neck, a short headstock angle, a thick rosewood fretboard finished with clear conversion varnish, and double truss rods.

The Rickenbacker 360 also has stereo or mono output, a body with a “crescent moon” cutaway form, rounded top edge and bound back, and a “R”-shaped trapeze tailpiece. The 360 is also available with twelve strings (Rickenbacker 360/12). The 370 is a three-pickup truck version of this vehicle.

Who played a Rickenbacker 360?

The Beatles’ first recording with this new model 360/12 may be heard on the song If I Needed Someone. The Byrds’ Roger McGuinn used a 12-string Rickenbacker 370. The Rickenbacker 360 model, with six strings, is the primary guitar of performers such as R.E.M.’s Peter Buck and Against Me!’s Laura Jane Grace.

What’s the Difference Between a Rickenbacker 330 and 360?

The 330 is the entry-level model, featuring a symmetrical unbound body, dot markers on an unbound neck, and a single mono output. The 360 has a softer body design, a bound neck, and triangle markings with dual or stereo outputs. The stereo output requires an additional breakout box, which is not included.
