Breaking from tradition when it first hit the scene in the midst of the 1960s British Invasion, the Rickenbacker 360 remains a symbol of timeless style and innovative guitar craftsmanship. While its aesthetic has been subtly modernized over the years, the 360 has stayed true to its roots – boasting deluxe features, exceptional comfort, and the unmistakable Rickenbacker sound.
The 360’s semi-hollow maple body is fully bound and shaped with a signature contoured edge that wraps the entire perimeter, delivering one of the most ergonomic playing experiences available. Its rosewood fingerboard is adorned with eye-catching triangular pearloid inlays, sitting atop a fast maple neck reinforced with dual truss rods for long-term reliability.
Under the hood, the 360 shines with a pair of Rickenbacker Hi-Gain single-coil pickups that offer crystal-clear articulation and a sparkling top end – perfect for clean chords or gritty British-style overdrive. A traditional 3-way pickup selector allows for tonal flexibility, while a unique master preset switch lets you instantly jump between two tone/volume settings – ideal for live performance dynamics.
Perhaps the 360’s most standout feature is its Rick-O-Sound stereo output, allowing you to split your signal from each pickup to separate amplifiers or channels – a dream for players looking to experiment with stereo imaging or dual-amp rigs.
Whether you're chasing the shimmering jangle of the '60s or carving your own sonic path, the Rickenbacker 360 stands ready as a deluxe, playable, and historic icon.
