Rickenbacker 660 Jetglo 2013 Electric Guitar

This is a Rickenbacker 660 Electric Guitar in Jetglo finish. Made in the USA in 2013, this guitar consists of a Charactered Maple body, a Maple neck, and a 21-fret Lacquered Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Chequered Black and White binding, a Trapeze tailpiece, Gotoh vintage-type tuners, a Rickenbacker Tunematic Bridge, and a set of Vintage Single Coil Toaster Top pickups. These pickups are wired to two volume controls, two tone controls, a blend knob, and a three-way pickup selector.

The Maple neck plays very well. The profile feels substantial yet comfortable in the hand, and with the glossy finish to the rear provides a fluid and expressive playing experience in all registers. This is further accentuated by the Lacquered Rosewood fingerboard which feels supremely smooth and glassy under the fingers. Its 10” radius strikes a fine balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for lead lines and string bending. The compact body design with bevelled edges sits nicely against the body for a comfortable playing experience in both standing and seated positions.

The pair of Rickenbacker Vintage Single Coil Toaster Top installed in this guitar deliver the bright, jangly tones which are sought after by so many. Both the neck and bridge positions are clear and articulate, capturing all of the nuances of your playing and the full range of tones available to the player. The neck is slightly rounder, helping you to blend into the mix. The bridge is of course brighter, and delivers a tone which easily cuts through the mix to put your playing front and centre. The on-board controls offer comprehensive control of your sound right on the instrument.
