Guitar Pic of the Day - 4.12.10

[Help!I'maRock!]

Rickenbacker 360/12 V64 in metallic turquoise, near mint condition, includes original Rickenbacker silver tolex case. Bought new in 2002 from Pick of the Rics. The 360/12 V64 is replica of one of George Harrison's 12-string Rickenbackers and it is no longer being made. Mark Arnquist, a former Rickenbacker employee, improved the playability by widening the string spacing at the nut and saddle. The guitar plays and sounds like a dream.

$2500

 

[Prages]

I like it well enough, but wouldn't pay $2500 for it.

 

[rusholmeruffian]

Yummy! I second Prages' opinion, though.

 

[Mark Wein]

I like, but it is too much money.

 

[dmn23]

Rics almost always make me feel funny in my pants but I've never been able to make peace with those itty-bitty necks. That's gorgeous though.

 

[Elias Graves]

I'll take two.

[newbuilder]

I would love to have one of those.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

Ooh noice! But it's a 12-string, and would very much be a one-trick pony in my guitar arsenal. For me, $2500 is too much for a one-trick pony guitar.

 

[Denverdave]

Want!!!

But for a lot less moneys.......that seems a tad steep.

 

[Aahzz]

Pass - Rics just don't do much for me.

i had the same problem with a 660/12 a few years back. could have bought it for $1500 (it was spankin' new), but just couldn't dedicate that much dough to a 12. bought a Dano DC-12 instead and we've been very happy since.

 

[Kerouac]

Dead. SEXY!

Agreed. They do sound cool though.

I've been VERY much considering getting a Dano again. Cream City/Warp Drive Music (where I got my Jag for such a steal of a price) recently became an authorized Dano guitar & effects dealer. The last time I was there, they had some cool looking 59DCs. The prices looked good too.

i like dano for oddball stuff. i've never really gotten on with the DC-59. but for cheap 12 strings and baritones, i don't think they can be beat.

 

[Elias Graves]

I just got a Dano reverb pedal. Probably the best $20 I've spent in a while.

[Zemmy]

nice, but i dont have the cash

 

[Gary Blanchard]

I wouldn't spend the money, but I wouldn't turn it down if it were given to me.

 

[jelloman]

12 string-y ricenbackers are truly awesome...except when they are painted a god-awful color...like blue...

 

[Scuzzo]

i like it but its a lot of coin and it has 6 too many strings..
awell..
