Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Mark and/or Don: When building a twelve string at the factory, is the guitar usually destined to be one model when the body is cut?? To be more specific, is the body bracing different on a 370/12 than on a 360/12, such as to accomodate the extra hardware(the 3rd pickup etc...)?
I can notice a difference between my 370/12 and my 360/12CW when looking through the sound-hole (the guitars are 32 years apart too.) Did the bracing design change through the years..?
The older Rickenbacker (the '68) is also much heavier than the CW, but it seems as though the difference is not just the added pickup. Any comments??

No they are identical .

The difference is the pickups ,

the binding or lack of it ,

The dots in the fretboard or the 'Triangles'

A 330 six or 12 is the same as a 360-V64

A 360 is the same as a 345, 370
