This is a hands-on review and video demo of my Rickenbacker 360/12C63 12-string electric — one of my prized possessions and a cornerstone of the collection. In the video below, you’ll hear that classic Rickenbacker 12-string jangle played live on camera and get a close look at the sharp “horns” and the ’63 reissue details. It’s the same model George Harrison played with the Beatles, carrying the sound Tom Petty and Mike Campbell brought back in the ’70s and ’80s. If you love the 12-string sound, start here.
The 12-String Sound
When I was growing up, I fell in love with the 12-string sound. Guys like Tom Petty and Mike Campbell really brought that sound back in the 70’s and 80’s and when I was little, albums like Cloud Nine (George Harrison) and Full Moon Fever (Tom Petty) featured the instrument. And those are the albums that really formed my love for rock’n’roll that will always live!
The Verdict
I hope you like this guitar as much as I do- it’s a cornerstone of the collection and was really the first big-time guitar I bought, as this is a reissue model of the ’63. It doesn’t get much better than this!
