The 360 JG is a seriously cool and unique instrument. It’s a semi-hollow with a Rickenbacker bite, perfect for players wanting a distinctive voice for alternative rock, jazz, or even sophisticated pop. The thin body makes it surprisingly comfortable, but the longer scale demands a bit of adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s brighter and more articulate than a full hollow body 360, but retains that signature Rickenbacker chime – less boom, more clarity.
It requires a bit more care to prevent drying and cracking, but many players prefer the feel and find it’s manageable with regular oiling.
The 41.4 mm nut width is on the wider side, which might feel a little snug for some, but the scale length is the biggest factor – it's longer than average.
