Rickenbacker® Model 370/12 "MTM"

Hey, Mr Tambourine Man........

Roger McGuinn´s "Mr Tambourine Man" Rickenbacker 370/12 (360/12)

The famous 370/12 Mr "Tambourine Man" Rickenbacker (1964)

This guitar created the 60's jingle-jangle when Roger McGuinn played his introduction to Mr Tambourine Man. At least, according to Voltage Guitars, this pictured guitar is said to be the original. The instrument was originally a 360/12 that was updated to a 370/12 and fitted with a compressor.

Invoice

The invoice shows that the guitar was fitted with special wiring in  Feb 1966. I have "erased" the serial numbers from this picture. We don´t want more than one, do we?
