"A fantastic guitar with a unique sound."

Feature:
The only "accessory" was the hardshell case, which you will want to have if you're doing gigs. As far as features, it has a fixed bridge and both stereo and mono outputs, which is pretty cool.

Quality:
It's not a solid-body instrument, so I've always been careful not to run it into any drum kits, but it's definitely a well-constructed instrument, and I expect it to last a long time with very little maintenance. When I play shows, I use more than one guitar -- but that's because not every song I play calls for the Rick's unique sound.

Value:
I'm extremely satisfied with the instrument and don't feel like I over-paid for it. There are cheaper guitars and there are more expensive guitars, but if this is the sound you're looking for than don't let the price discourage you from owning one.

Desirability:
This guitar has a very classic look that you immediately identify with the great artists that have used Rickenbackers before: George Harrison, Sam Cooke, Tom Petty, and Buck Owens just to name a few. This might not be the guitar for people that dig "Pantera," but it is a beautiful instrument.

Sound:
A Rickenbacker has a very unique, very identifiable sound. If it's the sound you're seeking, there's no substitute, but if you're looking for a guitar that can fit many styles of playing or has a broad range of sounds, consider something else. This is probably not the guitar I would chose to own if I only could own one guitar. But I love it!

Support:
I've only owned this guitar for about two years now, but I haven't encountered anything that I needed to contact customer support to address.

Overall:
I cannot say enough that this is a very unique unit. I wouldn't recommend it if you were in a position to own only one guitar, but if you have the means and are seeking this sound, you won't find it anywhere else. I looked at a couple other semi-hollow instruments like the Epiphone Casino and ES-295, and a Gretsch (I can't remember the model). These were all great guitars for their own reasons, but this was the sound I wanted and it's what I got

"Rickenbacker model 360"

I have owned a number of Rickenbacker guitars over the years and the one comment that I have follows the " The more things change, the more they remain the same " rule.

I purchased a new Rickenbacker 360 Fireglo, a couple of months ago and as soon as I opened the case, there was that Rickenbacker smell & that brand new 360.

I plugged that RIC into my Vox Cambridge Twin and as soon as I hit the first chord, the room was filled with that unmistakable Rickenbacker " Jingle-Jangle" coming from that 360!!! It has been close to 22 years since I had my last RIC (A 1969 360 Jetglo)

The quality was good back then on these guitars and it is even better now.

With all of the Wild looking guitars out there and the lower end fenders ( Squire)not to mention the " copies" of all, or most, of the other REAL guitars, Rickenbacker has never lowered it's strict standards in manufacturing a " Low end guitar" for any given reason.

Rickenbackers are " hand made" american guitars. Top quality, beautiful instruments.

Once you own one, you will understand.

This guitar broke all the rules of traditional styling when it appeared amid the 'British' sound of the 1960's. Subtly updated through the years, this Deluxe hollow body with its special contour around the entire body perimeter, is still perhaps the most comfortable guitar of all. The bound body and Rosewood fingerboard, inlayed with triangular pearloid markers, provide an exceptionally attractive appearance. Stereo output is standard.
