Rickenbacker 1974 360 Burgundyglo Electric Guitar w/ Original Case, Excellent

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This Rickenbacker 1974 360 in Burgundyglo is in excellent condition.  I immediately fell in love with this one - it is a really fetching guitar in person!  

It has a maple body with cream binding on the back only, a bi-level white pickguard, and a maple and walnut neck with a slim, shallow C profile. The fretboard is bound rosewood with pearl triangle inlays and 24 frets. The finish is original and in excellent condition. It weighs 7 lbs 9.5 oz.

The neck pickup, bridge, tailpiece, Grover tuners, pots, and knobs are all original. The bridge pickup is a Rickenbacker Hi-gain single-coil replacement, and the original is included. The original is weak sounding, and reads int he 9k ohms range, but it just can't keep up with the stock neck pickup.  Most of the wiring is original, but the bridge pickup solders are not. It comes in its original Rickenbacker case, which is in good condition. There is a slight buzz on the D string at the 7th fret.  

Adolph Rickenbacker and George Beauchamp founded the company in 1931 as Ro-Pat-In, and the Rickenbacker name was added to the brand in 1934. F.C. Hall bought the company from Adolph in 1953 and ran it from Santa Ana, California. The 360 came out in 1958 as part of the 300 series, also known as the Capri series. Peter Buck of R.E.M. and Laura Jane Grace of Against Me! are both known for favoring the six-string 360!
