1960s Rickenbacker 375 Vintage Guitar Mapleglo w/ Toaster Tops, Accent Vibrato & Case

Up for sale, a 1960s Rickenbacker 375 in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. The triple-pickup upgrade of the 360, this quintessential mid-’60s 375 features an Ac’cent vibrato and a trio of Toaster Top pickups.

The instrument’s semi-hollow construction delivers a natural warmth and breadth, balanced by the articulation and treble detail of maple as a tonewood. These qualities are channeled faithfully via the trio alnico magnet Toaster Top pickups, and each pickup position has a distinct, chiming sound with Rickenbacker's unmistakable jangle, cutting and lively at the bridge and smoother as you toggle towards the neck. This 375 is lightweight at 6lbs 11oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

It’s worth noting that for both finishes and upscale models (like the 375) factory markings in the control cavity rarely correspond with the model produced. As seen here, the cavity is marked as a “365,” although factory routing/pickups is conclusive that this model left the Rickenbacker factory in its current 375 triple pickup configuration.

The gloss Mapleglo finish exhibits some shallow buckle wear, a small area of finish loss adjacent to the rear strap button, and some minor dings and finish scratches consistent with use. The neck profile has some minor marks, inviting to the palm with a worn-in, easy-playing feel,

A modern Rickenbacker molded hardshell case is included.
