1968 Rickenbacker 360/12 Burgundyglo RARE Roger McGuinn Signed
DESCRIPTION
This iconic guitar is signed by Roger McGuinn, famous member of The Byrds who popularized this model of guitar. Here is a great article from American Songwriter that discusses McGuinn's use of the Rickenbacker 360-12: https://americansongwriter.com/legendary-guitars-roger-mcguinns-rickenbacker-360-12-370-12/.
The Burgundyglo finish is extremely rare on the 360/12, we have not been able to find another guitar with this finish in our research anywhere on the internet, not even a single photo.
*PLEASE NOTE* Although we believe the signature is genuine we are not an expert on signatures and cannot make any guarantees to its authenticity.
SETUP & INSPECTED BY OUR TECH TEAM
All of our guitars come with a FREE professional setup to a comfortable action as specified by that instrument’s manufacturer. Our setups always include inspection of (and necessary adjustment to): action, intonation, tremolo angle, truss rod, frets, nut, bridge, and more. We can accommodate special setup requests - additional charges and/or shipping delays of 1-2 business days could occur.
INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED
After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.
We have detailed photos of the electronics, fretboard, under a blacklight, etc. but can not upload due to photo limits. Please message if you would you like to see the photos!
