Frequently Asked Questions
The unpainted rosewood offers a very direct connection – it’s often a bit faster feeling, but requires more care to prevent stickiness and potential finish issues from sweat.
Unlike the more resonant 360/12, the 360 FG’s maple body and thinner construction provide a tighter, more focused sound with less low-end resonance.
The neck width is fairly standard for a Rickenbacker (41.4 mm), but the 'C' shape profile can feel a bit thinner than some, which might be ideal for smaller to medium-sized hands.
