Twelve-string Semi Hollow electric guitar for left-handers with Hi-Gain Single Coils, including case
With the Rickenbacker 360/12 Lefthand Fireglo, the traditional Californian company is launching the left-handed version of its successful twelve-string model, which has been part of the regular line-up since 1963. Originally developed for electrified folk music, the jingle-jangle sound of the twelve-string semi-hollow electric guitar with two Rickenbacker Hi-Gain single coils inspired beat and rock guitarists like George Harrison, Mike Campbell and Tom Petty to musical heights. In addition to the typical Rickenbacker-style maple body with resonance chambers, the practical 12-String left-handed electric guitar has a glued maple neck whose slim profile guarantees comfortable handling. Last but not least, twelve Schaller mini tuners and a Rickenbacker 6-saddle bridge with a chic R-tailpiece complete the 360/12 Lefthand Fireglo by Rickenbacker.
