A Fine and Original 1966 Rickenbacker 375.

1966 Rickenbacker 375 (three pickups with vibrato).

This forty-one year old thinline maple bodied guitar with rounded horns weighs just 7.30 lbs. Beautiful Fireglo finish with a single "cat's-eye" soundhole. Three-piece maple and walnut neck with a scale length of 24 3/4 inches and a nut width of just under 1 5/8 inches and a nice medium profile. Rosewood fretboard with 21 original frets and triangular crushed pearl position markers. Three "toaster" pickups with outputs of 3.81k, 3.80k, and 12.10k (that's how Rickenbacker three-pickup models measure). Six-saddle bridge and vibrato tailpiece. An exceptionally fine example. Housed in its original Rickenbacker silver hardshell case with blue plush lining (9.00). "The top model of the deluxe Capri group, the 375 has three pickups and a vibrato...Beginning in mid 1964, models in the 360 series were specified with rounded top edges and binding on the back only" (George Gruhn and Walter Carter, Electric Guitars and Basses: A Photographic History, p. 228).
