This 2000 Rickenbacker 360/12CW Carl Wilson signature is a fitting tribute to Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys, manufactured in a limited run of 500 instruments two years after his death to commemorate one of Rickenbacker's most recognisable guitar players.
Based, around a 1965 360/12 model, this guitar is excellent condition and appears to have seldom been out of its hard case, with next to no play wear to speak of. It includes the typical Rickenbacker features found on the 360 used by Carl Wilson, such as a lacquered Rosewood fingerboard with triangle inlays, single cats eye 'F' hole maple body,'R' tailpiece and 2 vintage spec 'Toaster' pickups.
This guitar is as good a Rickenbacker 12 string as we have ever had in, and features a stunning figured Maple top and back. The pickguard features a Carl Wilson signature decal, and this guitar comes complete with all the original paperwork and case candy.
As with all our instruments, this guitar has been given a full service and appraisal by our luthiers at the Vintage Instrument Workshop, and includes a 3 year warranty. This guitar includes its original Rickenbacker case.
