This piece had one-owner who clearly didn't play it in clubs with it or drag it around the country. This is in LIVING ROOM condition. It includes the ORIGINAL silver hard-shell case in Very good condition and a NEW Rickenbacker polishing cloth. Although the guitar came in from the original owner, it came to us with the wrong pickguard, and missing the "comb" device that converts it from a 12-string to a 6-string. The bridge-cover was also missing. We scoured the internet over the last few weeks and were able to procure the correct pick-guard assembly and the very rare "comb". These items were professionally installed by an experienced local luthier. We were able to get the correct bridge-cover from Rickenbacker (thanks Kenny!). One thing you'll notice right out of the gate is the condition of the guitar. There is some slight belt buckle wear on the back of the guitar, but it's only into the clear lacquer, not into the wood. The binding on the back of this is PERFECT. The guitar has no cracks, dings, or dents. The action is also perfect, with virtually no neck or fret-wear. The electronics are completely original, and in perfect working order. More info on the Convertible Comb 12 String Models (336/12, 366/12, 456/12):The Rickenbacker unique string converter, commonly known as a "comb", was introduced on three models in 1966. It changed the guitar from twelve to six strings via a lever that pulled the desired number of the strings down against the frets (and in theory out of the way). When not engaged, the guitar is a "normal" twelve string. The comb converter was available on the 336/12, 366/12, and 456/12 (solidbody). The 336/12 was a model 330-12 with a comb. Likewise the 366/12 was a model 360-12 with a comb, and the 456/12 was a model 450-12 with a comb. The string coverter was designed by James E. Gross of Glenview, Illinois. The convertible comb models disappeared from the Rickenbacker product line in 1976 (but in reality production of this model stopped in 1974). This is a FANTASTIC guitar and a historically significant link in the very long and successful Rickenbacker chain.
