1987 Rickenbacker 370/12 Byrd Model
Available
$6,500.00 + S&H
Twelve string, three pickup 370 in the Byrd specification, from the height of Rickenbacker's late eighties run. Sold direct by Steve De Franco at Stevie's Guitars, with no checkout and no auction. Message for condition detail, extra photographs and a shipping quote to your address.
The 370/12 is the guitar most players picture when they think of the Rickenbacker jangle: three pickups, twelve strings, and a headstock that threads the courses in a way nobody else copied. This one is a 1987 example built to the Byrd specification.
Twelve strings ask more of an instrument than six do, so the things that matter on a guitar like this are neck stability, fret life and whether the tuners still hold under doubled tension. Those are the points Steve checks before anything goes up for sale, and the ones he will walk you through before you commit.
