rickenbacker 450/12

1966 Rickenbacker 450/12 string guitar. These thin solid body guitars are one of the few “values” left in the vintage guitar market. The toaster pickups are the classic Rickenbacker sound of the 60’s. Some notable users of the 400 series were the MC5, Cheap Trick, The Go-Go’s, and Sleater-Kinney. The previous owner said when he purchased it from a guitar show in Florida Tom Petty was also looking at it. He asked Tom if he’d play a few chords so he could say he owned a guitar played by him. So, I guess you too can use a guitar once played by Tom Petty.
