The Rickenbacker 360 is an iconic instrument originally designed by Roger Rossmeisl in 1958 as a flat-topped, thin hollow body model with top and back binding. Halfway through 1964, the Rickenbacker 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.

MORE →Introduced in 1958 as a Roger Rossmeisl design and available in a variety of colours, the Rickenbacker 360 FireGlo is a distinctive instrument. FireGlo is Rickenbacker’s term for a cherry sunburst. This Rickenbacker 360 FireGlo was built during the first week of January 2013 and is in great overall shape, with only very light finish wear. Fret wear is very light. The heaviest wear is to the ‘Made in USA’ sticker on the upper pickguard!

The top cap is given an external shape, then the interior is routed out from the back to create a hollow cavity. After bracing and shaping, a flat Maple back is put on and on some models, the join is bound (there is no binding on the 330). This is why 360 body binding tends to be on the sound holes and back, only.
