     Rickenbacker 730S/12 Jumbo Acoustic guitar, built by me (Paul Wilczynski--studio-california.com) in 2011, under license from Rickenbacker. This amazing guitar had one knowledgeable collector owner. Built by hand from AAAA Spruce (top) and Indian Rosewood body, with Maple neck with 200-year-old walnut center neck strip and "Fishtail" headstock wings. Fretboard is finished, with hand-poured pearl inlays and 7.25" crown radius. Nut is 1 11/16" wide. The top is not flat, but has a 20' spherical top radius and improved bracing pattern.

    LRBaggs "Anthem" pickup system with integral preamp; chrome-plated Schaller tuners. Gold nameplate and pickguard; NOS Rickenbacker-branded hard shell case.

    HISTORY: I built 28 RIC-licensed acoustics in my workshop in seven years. Each guitar was entirely hand-built and hand-finished by me personally, using wood from Rickenbacker's own stock, which was aged in a container in a vineyard in Healdsburg, California, to stabilize the moisture content. According to my records, I constructed only 3 12-string 730S models; This one is unique by virtue of the AFG top, bound "Fishtail" headstock, and copper-gold painted, composite-reinforced neck.
