"The only 12 string you will ever want once you play one and here that Rickenbacker sound."
Feature:What can I say? It has the standard volume and tone controls plus a blend knob that I can't see makes any change in sound.
Quality:
Mine came shipped set up just the way I like it. No string rattle and low string action. The finish is very glossy and the wood grain shows through nicely.
Value:
A little high priced but they only gain in value over the years.
Desirability:
The best looking hollow body made.
Sound:
Ric 12 strings have a sound all there own. I owned a gibson es335 12-string back in the 60s but the ric has more of a chime that I was looking for.
Support:
Haven't had a problem yet.
Overall:
I also own a fender tele,a les paul,and an Ibanez hollowbody that I love also but the Ric is a keeper.

"The best electric 12 string"
Feature:I wish the Roger McGuinn compressor was standard or at least an available option.
Quality:
Not a flaw to be found but I would like to see more coats of finish to bring out the natural beauty of the wood with a higher gloss
Value:
When you see what's going on in the market, Rick is to be commended for keeping the price reasonable.
Desirability:
I have always thought this guitar was a 10 in sex appeal - even when I was a kid. It looks GREAT, plays smooth and had that Rickenbacker sound that only a Rick has!
Sound:
This is the sound that is distinctly Rickenbacker. There are imitators and than their is Rickenbacker
Support:
The guitar came out of the case completely playable. I fined tuned the action and haven't had to touch it since!
Overall:
This is my second Rick 12 string. The first was a 70something fireglow 360. That was road beaten and I replaced it with the 370. Only 12 string I'd consider adding or replacing would be a McGuinn model if it became available.

"Great, classy 12-string thats the best of the best of its league."
Feature:the Ric-o-sound feature is useful when you want that real vintage Ric sound, and the guitar is actually quite versitile, as most 12-strings aren't.
Quality:
Factory built guitars at the highest level. Usually, if a guitar is not hand-made, its built crappy (Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, etc.), but this guitar is very well built, consistent and reliable, and they sound great.
Value:
the guitar isn't exactly sky-rocketing in value, but its not depreciating at all, and it will last you your lifetime, for sure.
Desirability:
Its a classic; need i say more? George Harrison, Tom Petty, Pete Townsend, Roger McGuinn, etc. you get the point.
Sound:
for a twelve string electric, it doesn't get any better.
Ease of Use:
neck cut is phenomonal, as is the weight and design of the guitar. it plays great, and no other 12-string plays anywhere near it.
Support:
N/A havn't had to deal w/ Rickenbacker.
Overall:
Great guitar for what it is. You really have to play it to know anything about it; reading a review is almost useless, but I hope I've made some useful pointers.

"360/12 + Fender Super Reverb = Heaven"
Feature:No special features on this one, I've heard the "toaster" pickups provide a better vintage tone but the stock pick ups sound just fine to me.
Quality:
Only had the guitar for a few days now but quality does not seem like it is going to be an issue, the straddle does have a few rough edges on it, other than that I'm very pleased
Value:
Ric's have always been a bit pricey due to the quality and sound. You get what you pay for.
Desirability:
My wife bought it for me, must be sexy.
Sound:
The sound is amazing, my wife just purchased a jetglo 360/12 and gave it to me on Father's Day. What a gal!!! As soon as I plugged it in to my Fender '73 silverface super reverb and plucked out the first few notes of Tambourine Man I had to sit down due to my knees buckling. My band mates are very impressed with the incredible tone that chimes throughout our practice studio. I'm in heaven.
Support:
Haven't needed any support as of yet.
Overall:
This guitar will stay in my family for long long time. If for some reason we need to sell it, I'm sure I will miss it and pine for another. I've only had it a few days and I'm learning very quickly how to make it sing. Very happy to have something new to work with.

Rickenbacker 360/12 Customer Review
Quality:dependable well made guitar it it might feel akward sometimes with 12 strings. On the road wouldnt be a really smart choice but good to practice with.
Value:
this is worth its dollar if you know how to play it or are more experienced than most others. If your begging get something else this would way too much of a challenge.
Desirability:
it would look great maybe onstage or something its design is basically genius as it brings more opportunities to bands and guitarists.
Sound:
it sounds really good with all the extra strings on the guitar. especially with distortion. you can make new noises with this baby.
Support:
if for some reason you need support they are pretty friendly and seem ready to help you with your problem(s)
Overall:
i would look for something a little easiar and less inricate before i got satisfied with it. altogehter this product is great for the experienced guitar player and innovator.
