If the pics were better, we could see if it had a 3-piece top.... |

The size of the headstock routs is a lot wider than those on my CW/12 (or on the 370/12v67 from the same site), which makes me think it's not a v66. Bridge placement doesn't look 60's vintage to me, though....but the price does.... |

I meant expensive compared to their 370/12v67, a guitar which you'd expect would be slightly more expensive if the 360/12 in question was indeed a v66.
Either way, you're right, prices are nuts in Japan and I don't think I'll be doing any guitar shopping in that country any time soon...except of course if they have a limited run of Hello Kitty ricks... |

That is very similar to the guitar in the "I Love Rickenbacker 12-strings" book. I would be willing to bet it was part of the same late '80s run, and that it has all '60s features except for checkerboard binding, which was absent on the guitar in the book (I seem to recall the same guitar being in the Rittor book). I would list the serial/year of the guitar in the book but I seem to have misplaced the book in my house for the moment!
I think the 370/12V67 is a fine deal at $2400 and change. I am seriously considering it. |

Bob, I think your right. I was looking at my copy of "I Love Rickenbacker 12-strings". The guitar pictured is listed as 88 no serial #. I think $2400 is a great price also, for the 370/12 v.67. Please post pictures if you get it. |
