Rickenbacker has a long history, dating back to 1931.
Rickenbacker is a rare brand that has always maintained its company policy without wavering, proudly producing electric guitars in the United States, the birthplace of electric guitars, and upholding the "Made in America" ​​pride. From the past to the present, it has consistently refused offers of subcontracting or licensed production from numerous factories and manufacturers across borders, and production continues to this day at its factory in Southern California.

This time, we have a Rickenbacker 360, one of the brand's flagship models along with the 330, in recommended player's condition pre-owned condition! It was manufactured in 2005.
While there are scratches and dents throughout, noticeable buckle damage, and overall paint deterioration due to age, including discoloration, clouding, dullness, and dirt, it has an exceptionally dignified appearance! None of these affect playability.

The 300 series features a unique semi-hollow body construction, where key areas are carved out from the back of the body and then covered from the underside. The material used is maple. The body and neck are set-neck construction.
While a body made entirely of maple tends to result in an extreme sound character, the combination with our in-house designed and manufactured pickups produces a clear, well-defined, deep, and beautiful sound that is unmistakably Rickenbacker, a sound that cannot be replicated by other manufacturers!
The neck, like the body, is primarily made of maple with walnut incorporated into its construction.
The thin, slim neck, narrow 1.63-inch nut width, and medium 24 3/4-inch scale length create exceptional playability! The easy-to-play scale length, nut width, and neck shape are a perfect match for the Japanese physique. The fingerboard has a unique texture with a clear coat applied to the entire rosewood fingerboard. The position markers are triangular pearloid inlays. It has 24 frets. It features specifications that were ahead of their time, allowing for easy access to the high positions, similar to modern component guitars! Furthermore, Rickenbacker's design makes playing in the high positions easy. In this respect as well, it can be said that it was ahead of its time!

The single-coil pickup delivers a sound that perfectly balances clarity and sweetness, much like the P-90, another rare pickup that has captivated many musicians. Its well-balanced and easy-to-use sound allows for clear, well-defined chords in backing tracks without interfering with vocals within a band ensemble. Furthermore, in solo work, you can fully enjoy the criest solo tone that showcases the guitarist's true brilliance, with its rich harmonics and solid core. This magical sound has captured the hearts of many musicians, including The Beatles!

On Rickenbackers, the controls consist of four separate controls: the front pickup is called "BASS" and the rear pickup is called "TREBLE," each with its own independent volume and tone control.
And the Rickenbacker's unique 5th control is also worth mentioning! This fifth control was added to the bass pickup to balance the output of the treble pickup, which was reduced due to the "low-cut capacitor" that was incorporated from the 1960s to the early 1980s, with that of the bass pickup. Unlike a normal knob, turning it counterclockwise is 10, and turning it all the way clockwise is around 6.
You can think of the 5th control as the front pickup volume control, which will make it easier to control.

In addition to a standard mono output, the Model 360 is equipped with a unique stereo output called "RIC-O-SOUND." This system, which splits the signals from the front and rear pickups into two poles, requires a dedicated converter (which is no longer in production). When using a standard mono cable, please insert it into the "Standard" jack on the left. Please note that if you insert a standard mono cable into the "RIC-O-SOUND" jack, the front pickup signal will not be output.

We've just received a recommended player's condition used item! It's a 2005 model.
As mentioned above, there are numerous scratches and dents throughout, noticeable buckle scratches, and scratches on the back of the neck. The paintwork also shows signs of aging, including discoloration, clouding, dullness, dirt, and tarnishing of parts. However, none of these affect playability. While there are many scratches, dents, and signs of use, we have performed a full maintenance and cleaning at our shop, so it is ready to use immediately.
The bridge cover is missing.

The frets are in good working order and have almost all of their life remaining. The nut is also in good working order. The truss rod can be adjusted normally without any problems. There are some scratches and dents on the entire fretboard and on the back of the neck, but these do not affect playability. There are some cloudy areas around the frets in the gloss finish clear coat of the fretboard, but this does not affect playability. Clouding on the fretboard can sometimes be present from when the instrument is new. Even in such cases, it is usually not found to be a problem during inspection and shipped as such.

The electrical system has also been fully checked, so there are no problems with its operation.
Both pickups are missing the four screws on the sides, but the center screw is still there, so they are secured.
The pickup height can be adjusted, but it cannot be raised much higher than its current height. It can also be lowered a little more, but there are no issues or problems with using it at the current pickup height.

The weight is approximately 3.40 kg. It offers a balance that makes it easy to use while producing a solid, resonant sound.
This is a cool and stylish Jetglo color!

Accessories include the original hard case and key.
