Rickenbacker 660 Ruby Red Overview
Rickenbacker 660, Jetglo overview by GAK
The Rickenbacker Model 660 is based around one of Rickenbacker's most innovative designs from the '50s. A lacquered Rosewood fingerboard is punctuated beautifully with triangular pearloid markers, while the maple double bound neck and body are solid through and through. Rickenbacker's trademark "checkered" black and white binding set off the body, while white binding graces the neck. The 660 is electronically engineered to the exacting standards of the vintage reissue series, complete with Rickenbacker's own vintage reissue-type pickups.
