Rickenbacker 360/12

The Rickenbacker 360/12 is a 12 string electric guitar used by George Harrison in the mid 60's.



Harrison's Perspective
Harrison loved the 360/12, and while he moved on to other guitars as his "main" instrument, he retained his affection for the 360-12, once calling it "the only 12 string you can change a string on when you're drunk." [citation needed]  He brought his original 360/12 out of retirement to use on his album "Cloud 9". Harrison received a new style 360/12 in August 1965, which he used on the " Rubber Soul" and " Revolver" albums. The guitar has never been seen or mentioned since the group's 1966 US tour, with speculation that it was stolen.
