Rickenbacker / 360 WB / 1990 / Jetgo / Guitar
|
This beautiful Rickenbacker is not very common: it is a version of the 360, the 360 WB (with binding), that features binding in the front as well. It looks fantastic. They’have used the old 360 pointed-edge shape (not like the current rounded one), making it look very much like a vintage 360 (in fact, it has the shape of a modern-day 330, but with the added binding, which gives it a very classy look). Also, this guitar is a good alternative for the v64 or c63, specially if you're looking for the George Harrison look. These 360 WB are very rare in Jetglo, so this is your chance!
Apart from its rarity, the guitar has added “mojo” value: it was a player guitar used by renown country artist Brent Amaker. Three signed items by Brent are included with this guitar: a comic book featuring Brent’s band, their latest CD, and a polaroid of him holding the guitar. Check the photos for more detail.
The guitar is a player, but it hasn’t been abused. It has regular aging for a 23 year-old player guitar: slight dings, some buckle rash (but the paint is still there), swirls and patina. No chips, except two in the headstock (see pictures). No repairs or major issues.
Frets have some wear, specially the first 4. The fretboard lacquer is nearly at 100%, only showing very slight wear on the first fret.
There is a beautiful checking all over the guitar, as you may see in the photos. That’s one aging sign we like a LOT!
The guitar is in good condition, but keep in mind that it is not a mint guitar. It has been played thoughout its 23 years. It sounds great, very twangy, and we’re glad some important country artist uses a Rick, since that’s what they were for in the beginning!
Good chance to acquire this beautiful 360 WB (not an easy one to find, specially in Jetglo), and it has a nice story behind.

Guitar Giraffe, Spain 
In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
