Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I just bought a 1968 Rickenbacker 365 in very good condition and am super hyped! I actually thought based on the website photo's that this guitar was Jetglo (my preferred color). but realized once I asked for pics from the sales manager that it is indeed burgundyglo like in the description. What do you guys think? On one hand I am very excited to have a vintage rick (my first rickenbacker and 60s guitar). On the other I am a lil bummed that it ended up not being my dream color of Jetglo. However Burgundyglo is very cool too! Overall I think it was an excellent purchase and I hope that I will form a great bond with this instrument. Everything is original except the tuners. It was made in the 8th week of 1968. It is being shipped to me (in Canada) today. I will be back to share my thoughts once it arrives! What do y'all think of this beauty?

Welcome to the RRF.
Classic first couple of posts.
You ended up getting a absolutely belter of a guitar.
Love it.

Ah yes, the one at Elderly Instruments.

Very nice! Glad to see this one found a home. Burgundyglo is rarer than Jetglo and much cooler, in my opinion.

Enjoy

Thank you <3 Yup exactly! I was actually in the market for a modern 360 or 620 but saw this @ elderly and figured it was a pretty solid price and a good way to enter the vintage guitar world. I ended up getting it for $3500.
