Rickenbacker 360C63 Jetglo 12 String

Post by JANGLE »

This looks nice but something doesn't look right with the Rickenbacker truss rod cover, it's an odd shape.
Does anyone know if this is correct?

It's a 1993 plus perhaps, rather than a c63?

Auch I must have eaten something wrong yesterday. This is not a 1993 plus of course

All C63's have that goofy TRC shape like Harrison's. One of the quickest ways to tell a C63 from a V64 at 20 paces.

Curiously, it still looks slightly different to Harrison's TRC shape, but that's definitely standard for a C63 model.

While it's semi off-topic, I find the variation in early 12-string TRC shapes quite interesting. There really was no standard shape from the Suzie Arden 12-string in '63 all the way to about November 1964. I count at least five different variations, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were all hand-shaped during that period.
