jsixties Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Hi mates, Can someone be interested in this exclusive and highly collectible Rickenbacker 381/12V69 in Blueburst (colour of the year 2005)? [url="http://www.rickenbacker.com/model.asp?model=381/12V69"]http://www.rickenbac...model=381/12V69[/url] Comes factory with trapeze tailpiece and Rickenbacker TV Style Control knobs wiring in three position (two tones, one volume). It's in dead mint condition and comes complete with the vintage silver case, manual, cloth and tags. This is one of the most beautiful and better done high-end american guitars ever and there are very few made in this awesome finish. The sound and feel is incredible but the fact is I don't know what to do with so many strings and I don't use her, so just as a feeler by now I could be interested in trades [u]adjusting cash my way[/u] for a Fender Jazz Bass Custom Shop, a Rickenbacker 4001/4003 or a Custom Shop Gibson Les Paul or ES-335. As far as amps: An Aguilar AG500, a Fender Deluxe Reverb or a Vibrolux/Vibroverb or a british made Vox AC15 or AC30 will suit me too. I bought it from an american dealer and paid a fortune with the shipping and custom fees but take a look at the even higher recommended price in UK: [url="http://www.rosetti.co.uk/Product/Rickenbacker-381-12V69-Guitar"]http://www.rosetti.co.uk/Product/Rickenbac...81-12V69-Guitar[/url] It's not longer available in this finish and has 3 years in the awaiting in the three colours offered today (fireglo, mapeglo or jetglo). Please take all this aspects in mind before make your proposal. Please contact through private message. I will entertaint trade offers here for a few days before goes to eBay for a sale at a sensible price.

nash Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 absolutely stunning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsixties Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Thank you Nash, indeed it's awesome in every aspect. You can play it as a 6 string guitar too so the neck and nut spacing is the same, but once you hear the ringing tones of the 12 configuration you will not want to do that. The 381V69 is the top of the line of the Ric catalogue and given the construction is much more resonant than any Rickenbacker of the Reissue or Vintage series.

uncle psychosis Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Holy crap thats beautiful. I've always wanted a Ricki 12 but discovered recently that the string spacing is just too narrow for a hamfisted muppet like me to play Good luck with the sale.

jsixties Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Thank you mate, It's easy to play but a good guitar player (and I'm not one of those definitely) can touch the heaven with this instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
