❌SOLD❌  Rickenbacker Model 360 JetGlo, 2001

The Rickenbacker Model 360 is an iconic instrument designed by Roger Rossmeisl in 1958 as a flat-topped, thin hollow body model with top and back binding. Halfway through 1964, the Rickenbacker Model 360 gained a New Style body to further differentiate the 360 from the 330. The New Style body is Maple, but has a chambered top with very rounded edges and integrated sides.

❌SOLD❌  Gibson Les Paul Standard Sienna Burst, 2005

This beautiful Gibson Les Paul Standard, built during 2005, sports a nicely figured Maple top set off by a Sienna Burst finish. This example is very resonant and very solid, with no apparent weight relief. Following the original combination of a carved Maple top on a Mahogany back and a Mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard, this Gibson Les Paul Standard Sienna is in overall good condition with light wear to the back from contact with the player’s clothing.

❌SOLD❌ Rickenbacker 330 Ruby Red Thinline Electric, 2014

❌SOLD❌  Rickenbacker 330 Ruby Red Thinline Electric, 2014

Here is a lovely Rickenbacker 330 Ruby Red thinline electric, in very nice original and complete condition (including the bridge cover!), dating to the third week of April 2014. Like all other Rics it was built at the Santa Ana, California facility.

The Rickenbacker 330 design dates back to the late 1950’s when Roger Rossmeisl created a number of forward-looking designs including the Cresting Wave chambered body and slash soundholes. On this Rickenbacker 330 Ruby Red, the finish really stands out and shows off the contours, without being overly dramatic or flashy; it’s really quite well done.

SOLD Gibson Byrdland Thinline Archtop Electric Natural, 1976

SOLD Gibson Byrdland Thinline Archtop Electric Natural, 1976

The Gibson Byrdland appeared in 1955 as a custom order for Billy Byrd and Hank Garland. These two were top Nashville session guitarists who wanted full archtop tone, but in a more comfortable thinner body and a shorter scale length – 23.5 inches, rather than Gibson’s standard 24.75 inches – to allow easier access to complex chords fingerings. The Byrdland was the first of Gibson’s thinline archtop guitars, with many more to follow. The design was so successful that it was quickly promoted to production status.
