RICKENBACKER 362/12RICKENBACKER manufactured the double necked 362/12 between 1975 and 1992. The Rickenbacker 362/12 was one of their most expensive models (retailing at $2859 in 1990) and available by special order only and so is likely to be a relatively rare instrument. One of the necks is a 12 string and the other a 6 string, controls are two 3-way pickup selectors, a volume and tone control for each neck and a blend knob for the stereo output. | |
