Nice of Gibson to do a bit on George with a specific focus on his lovely Rickenbacker.
One yahoo in the comment section added this:
'Nice article, one "minor" problem. Harrison did NOT play a 360/12... he played, as picured a deviation of the 381/12 Since I own a both, the error stuck out.'

The OS 360/12 must have thrown him for a loop...
There
is a legitimate flaw in the article, though - the 360/12 does not have a 'through neck.'

This design is often attributed to Rick hollowbodies.
It's just a really long tenon folks!
