Built in the USA, this 2004 Rickenbacker 381/12 V69 represents one of the company's most distinctive and finely crafted 12 string electric guitars, faithfully reviving a design that dates back to the late 1950s. Featuring a hand carved maple top and back with a semi acoustic maple body, the 381/12 V69 combines exceptional craftsmanship with the unmistakable chime and shimmering resonance that have become hallmarks of the Rickenbacker sound.
A maple set neck with a bound rosewood fingerboard offers a comfortable playing experience, while a pair of Vintage Toaster Top single coil pickups deliver the bright, harmonically rich voice that has made Rickenbacker 12 strings a favourite of countless players. The beautifully sculpted German carved body, checked binding, bound crescent sound hole and triangular fingerboard inlays set the 381/12 V69 apart from any other model in the range, making it one of Rickenbacker's most visually striking instruments. Presented in excellent original condition throughout and complete with its original hard case, this is a superb example of one of the company's most prestigious vintage inspired models.
