RICKENBACKER 360 JETGLO | An Average Guy’s Thoughts and Opinions

#rickenbacker #rickenbacker360 #rickenbackerguitar


One of Rickenbacker's most distinctive shapes, the 360 is for many the pre-eminent guitar design by this high-quality and idiosyncratic Californian company. With a large contour around its entire body and a unique shape & sound, the Rickenbacker 360 is a guitar that can't be mistaken for any other model. The 360 has a signature 'jangle' that no other guitar has: just ask Peter Buck of R.E.M., Roger McGuinn and George Harrison. It's the ultimate clean arpeggio guitar, especially through a good quality Class A tube combo.

With a hollowbody design made with maple for treble and snap, this resonant attack is further pronounced by using a pair of what Rickenbacker call their 'Hi-gain' pickups, which in reality are relatively medium output single coil pickups. The neck itself has 24 frets over a 10" radius and has the beloved Triangle inlays. An 'R' tailpiece adds extra style to what is already a highly stylish guitar. Plug it in using the stereo function to discover the true meaning of 'jangle'! As with all Rickenbacker models, this 360 in Jetglo (black) is handmade in California to extremely exacting standards.
