Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: Vintage verification: The guitar has previously been refinished by Marty Bell, The jack & jack wire have been replaced. 2 pots appear to be older replacements. 

This 1964 Rickenbacker 345S Rose Morris 1998 is a remarkable piece of Rickenbacker history, combining distinctive British-era styling with the unmistakable chime and character of three original Alnico Toaster Top pickups. Its semi-hollow maple body, finished in Desert Gold, delivers the bright, articulate personality that has made vintage Rickenbackers so beloved, while the three-piece maple and walnut neck offers a comfortable C-shaped profile. The original electronics, including CTS pots and Blue Molded Ajax tone capacitors, preserve the character of this exceptional vintage instrument. An original Ac'cent vibrato, roller-saddle bridge, dual-tiered pickguard, and Kluson Deluxe tuners complete its wonderfully distinctive appearance. At 7 lbs. 9 oz., it feels substantial without being cumbersome. Complete with its original Silver Tolex hardshell case, this 345S offers a rare opportunity to connect with a truly special chapter of electric guitar history!
