Rickenbacker 370/12 12 String - MapleGlo - Pre-Loved

This is a pre-loved guitar in very good condition. If you require any more photographs or information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

The 370/12 gives you rounded horns, a contoured top edge that rolls into back binding, and iconic triangle ("shark fin") fingerboard inlays. Though most of these updates are cosmetic, one of the coolest upgrades to the 370/12 is the Rick-O-Sound stereo output. This sends each of the Hi-gain pickups to its own amplifier, or straight into a recording medium for instant stereo guitars. The Rickenbacker 12 was loved by artists like Roger McGuinn for its shimmering chord voicings.

All-maple construction provides a bright foundation

Everything but the Rickenbacker 370's fingerboard is made from high-grade maple. Maple's density is partly responsible for the 370's famous sustain and top-end jangle and shimmer. Maple is also very stable, aiding in maintaining the structural integrity of the neck. The thick rosewood fingerboard adds a touch of warmth and harmonic richness to this otherwise bright instrument. Dot inlays give it the traditional 370 look.

Hi-gain pickups and 5-knob layout allow for a wide range of tones

The heart and soul of all Rickenbackers are the proprietary electronics. In the 370/12  electric guitar you'll find three Hi-gain single-coils. These pickups deliver the stringiness of many other single-coils, but with an aggressive cut that has driven so many rhythm and lead guitar tracks through the decades. A 5-knob control layout with "blend" knob gives you a wide range of sounds to play with.

Stereo Rick-O-Sound output opens up a palette of sonic possibilities

Rickenbacker spec'd the 370/12 with two output jacks. The first is a standard mono output. The second is a stereo Rick-O-Sound output, which outputs both pickups as a separate signal. Just think about the possibilities! You can feed your 370's neck pickup into a clean American tweed for bass definition, then out your bridge pickup to an overdriven British stack for raucous tube grit. This option is also great for studio performers. By sending one signal to two sources, you can get an instant stereo track with only one performance.
