Rickenbacker 345 – 1966 – Rose Morris

A rare chance to own an original 1966 Rickenbacker 345/1998, the Rose Morris export variant of the US 345—distinguished by its classic F-hole instead of the American “cat’s eye”. These hardly ever surface, and this one brings serious rock ’n’ roll pedigree.
 
Original toaster-top pickups that sound every bit as chimey and alive as you’d hope. Guitar playes extremely well, great action, truss rod working perfectly.
All electrics (pots, switches etc.) as factory; original. 
 
Possibly this model originally featured either a flat plate trapeze tailpiece or even a tremolo. 
The current Rickenbacker tailpiece (R) is a replacement. 
 
Honest playwear throughout—fretboard wear, nicks, scratches—nothing that gets in the way of that unmistakable Rick feel and tone.
OHSC in great condition
 
Additional Details
Frets are in great condition, divots in the fretboard from the first to twelfth positions (result of play-wear only, no damage).
No breaks or repairs.
Small neck ding near the heel joint.
This guitar sounds absolutely amazing—a truly inspiring piece.
