Rickenbacker 360 6-String 1989 Midnight Blue w/ Original Case & Paperwork

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This 1989 Rickenbacker 360 6-String in Midnight Blue is an all-original example of one of the most iconic electric guitar designs ever produced, combining unmistakable looks with the chime, clarity, and articulation that define the Rickenbacker sound.

Elegant, lightweight (7 pounds, 7 ounces), and instantly recognizable, the 360 has been the backbone of countless classic recordings across rock, jangle pop, and alternative music for decades.

This example is in excellent condition with some small chips/dings here and there, no changes, no repairs, and no issues whatsoever.  The frets show moderate use.  The neck is straight and the truss rods effective.  The original case is included, along with the original owner's manual.

The semi-hollow maple body delivers airy resonance and fast attack, while the dual pickups provide that signature Rickenbacker shimmer—bright, focused highs, tight low end, and a clear, piano-like midrange that cuts through any mix. Clean tones sparkle with harmonic complexity, while driven sounds remain articulate and defined, never muddy. The slim neck profile feels quick and comfortable, making this guitar equally inspiring for rhythm work and melodic lead lines. The Midnight Blue finish adds a deep, sophisticated visual presence that looks incredible under stage lights.

As with all instruments at Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, it has been fully inspected, photographed accurately, and professionally set up to play its absolute best.

We buy, sell, and take trades.
