Carl Wilson's 360-12 ?
hi all,
recently I've been watching early videos of live performances by The Beach Boys, which I imagine are from 1962 thru 1965, being that most are in black and white film, including the tv appearances.
In a few of those videos I noticed Carl Wilson playing a 360-12 like George Harrison's 360-body style.
However, Rickenbacker issued a Carl Wilson Model which is like Roger McGuinn's 360-body style.
Why would that be, when the early videos clearly show a 360-12 similar to George Harrison's ?
thanks for any insight.

Jos: Carl Wilson played more than one model Rickenbacker, both old style and new style, with the Beach Boys. There are a few here. The one chosen as the Signature model by RIC is perhaps most representative and I expect was based on their research.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Peter, thank you for the link.
yes I see he played both styles. The photo shown in your link showing him "rehearsing for Shindig", looks like an "F" hole 360-12 model, a British model (Rose Morris).

A prototype 1993 with a dot neck, trapeze tail and silver knobs that stayed in the US. The new-style 360/12 is what he's famous for.Zurdo wrote:Peter, thank you for the link.

Re: Carl Wilson's 360-12 ?
I still think it would be a great idea for Rickenbacker to release a LTD run of a CW 1993 12 string .
And it would be good for the Carl Wilson Trust too.

I second that, but I also think the "cat's eye" looks more "Rickenbacker" than a "F" hole. Although I think it was Gretsch who invented the cat's eye.
