The Rickenbacker 660 Semi Acoustic Guitar is constructed from charactered maple and fashioned into a distinctive and unique design to create a stylish instrument. This elegant maple body produces a tastefully complex and clean tone that has plenty of warmth to it, brightening up the top end and tightening the lows. Along with this guitar's natural tone, its elegant curved shape keeps the body lightweight, simultaneously providing a comfortable playability as well as additional access to those higher frets.
Finished with Rickenbacker's popular Mapleglo body, as well as a classic chequered white binding and gold pickguard, the 660 will stand out from any crowd. Additional features include pearloid triangle inlays, Gotoh vintage-type tuners, and five control knobs for the maximum creative tonal control.
The Rickenbacker 660 is equipped with a rosewood fingerboard attached to a maple neck for additional stability, offering a sleek visual aesthetic. The neck-through construction achieves an extraordinary amount of sustain. With a slim, sleek design and excellent low action, this neck-through design eliminates the need for a guitar heel and provides easier access to the higher frets.
In addition, the guitar's neck produces a tight and warm tone with the maple offering a snappy attack with sizzling highs and firm lows, whilst the rosewood helps keep the tone mellow and offers some sparkle to the highs and thickens up the lows. Another benefit of this type of neck construction is that it allows the guitar to stay in tune for longer, therefore eliminating the need to constantly re-tune during performances.
The Rickenbacker 660 is electronically engineered to the exact standards of the vintage reissue series, including the toaster top pickups for the ultimate authenticity. This duo of vintage single coil toaster top pickups yields a classic Rickenbacker jangly tone that is bright, clear and slightly deep. Each pickup is equipped with six individual Alnico magnets set vertically inside the coil, giving you that classic sound. Their distinctive chime will sit well in any mix, and is an ideal choice for players who prefer a jangly tone.
