1968 Rickenbacker 360/12 Burgundyglo RARE Roger McGuinn Signed
This iconic guitar is signed by Roger McGuinn, famous member of The Byrds who popularized this model of guitar. Here is a great article from American Songwriter that discusses McGuinn's use of the Rickenbacker 360-12: https://americansongwriter.com/legendary-guitars-roger-mcguinns-rickenbacker-360-12-370-12/.
The Burgundyglo finish is extremely rare on the 360/12, we have not been able to find another guitar with this finish in our research anywhere on the internet, not even a single photo.
*PLEASE NOTE* Although we believe the signature is genuine we are not an expert on signatures and cannot make any guarantees to its authenticity.
