On this edition of the Guitar Bucket List, we look at my Rickenbacker 360/12C63 12-string electric guitar. This is one of my prized possessions, as it was the same model the George Harrison played with the Beatles. The sharp edges on the “horns” of the guitar are what really drew me to this model, as well as the classic sound that you can only really get with a Rickenbacker.
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!
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!
