Rickenbacker 360
This guitar broke all the rules of traditional styling when it appeared amid the 'British' sound of the 1960's. Subtly updated through the years, this Deluxe hollow body with its special contour around the entire body perimeter, is still perhaps the most comfortable guitar of all. The bound body and Rosewood fingerboard, inlayed with triangular pearloid markers, provide an exceptionally attractive appearance. Stereo output is standard. Also available with an additional pickup (Model 370).
Rickenbacker 330
Careful acoustic research has resulted in the full, rich and warm sound of this popular model. Two single coil pickups on a full size body are accented by a traditionally shaped sound hole. The 24 fret Rosewood fingerboard is punctuated by dot inlay fret markers, with full double cutaways permitting access to all the frets. Standard output is monaural through a single jack plate. Also available with an additional pickup (Model 340) and as twelve string versions with either 2 or 3 pickups (Model 330/12 and Model 340/12 respectively).
Rickenbacker 330/12
Basically the same as Model 330 but with twelve strings. Careful acoustic research has resulted in the full, rich and warm sound of this popular model. Two single coil pickups on a full size body are accented by a traditionally shaped sound hole. The 24 fret Rosewood fingerboard is punctuated by dot inlay fret markers, with full double cutaways permitting access to all the frets. Standard output is monaural through a single jack plate. Also available with an additional pickup (Model 340/12) and as six string versions with either 2 or 3 pickups (Model 330 and Model 340 respectively).
Rickenbacker 340
Basically the same as Model 330 but with an extra hi-gain pickup. Careful acoustic research has resulted in the full, rich and warm sound of this popular model. Three single coil pickups on a full size body are accented by a traditionally shaped sound hole. The 24 fret Rosewood fingerboard is punctuated by dot inlay fret markers, with full double cutaways permitting access to all the frets. Standard output is monaural through a single jack plate. Also available as twelve string versions with either 2 or 3 pickups (Model 330/12 and Model 340/12 respectively).
Rickenbacker 380l
A fusion of history and technology, the 380L Laguna takes the art of the electric guitar up a notch. An oil-finished Walnut body is mated to an all Maple neck and fingerboard, made just a bit wider than RIC tradition. Standard with two humbucking pickups, the PZ option adds six saddle-mounted pickups and active circuitry to achieve rich acoustic guitar timbre.
Rickenbacker 650 Atlantis
An innovative new model launched in 1991 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the production of Rickenbacker's first electric guitars. Finished in vintage turquoise, the all-chrome plated parts, including knobs and pickguard, complete the distinctive 'Retro' appearance. A solid Maple neck runs the full length of the body punctuated by dot markers, while two humbucking pickups and a newly-designed bridge give the punchy sound ideal for lead guitar.
Rickenbacker 620
The Model 620 features the famous 'Cresting Wave' Maple cutaway body based on an innovative design from the 1950's. A Rosewood fingerboard is punctuated beautifully with triangular pearloid inlay markers, while the maple double bound neck and body are solid through and through. The 620 is electronically engineered to the exacting standards of the 300 series, complete with Rickenbacker's own high gain pickups and stereo output. Successfully retaining the balance from the original specifications, the 620 is another fine example of Rickenbacker quality workmanship.
Rickenbacker 660
The Model 660 and 660/12 feature a charactered Maple cutaway body based on an innovative design from the 1950's. A Rosewood fingerboard is punctuated beautifully with triangular pearloid inlay markers, while the maple double bound neck and body are solid through and through. Rickenbacker's trademark "checkered" black and white binding set off the body, while white binding graces the neck. The 660 is electronically engineered to the exacting standards of the vintage reissue series, complete with Rickenbacker's own vintage reissue-type pickups.
