Rickenbacker 660 12 string Tom Petty
Here we have a very rare Rickenbacker 12 string instrument that is sure to attract a lot of attention. This Limited Run Tom Petty 660/12 guitar is in almost mint condition, with only one tiny mark on the top, and a small blemish on the top of the headstock (both pictured). It comes with the Rickenbacker case and the COA. These Rickenbacker 660 Tom Petty 12 string version hardly ever come onto the market, so we are delighted that we have such an exceptionally nice pre owned version in stock.The Tom Petty Limited Edition, Model 660/12TP, is entirely hand made in America from solid  "charactered" Eastern Rock Maple with a fully inlaid 21 fret rosewood fingerboard. Using neck through body construction, this 12-string instrument features "checked" binding, vintage pickups, vintage knobs, gold pickguard and nameplate, vintage keys designed to Rickenbacker specifications, trapeze tailpiece and a 12 saddle bridge. The neck on the 660/12TP was designed to Petty's demanding standards. A Rickenbacker vintage case is included with each instrument. The Tom Petty Rickenbacker 660/12  model was formally introduced at the 1991 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim. The Company on;ly manufactured 1000 of these instruments so they are to say teh least rather sought after and collectible. Each guitar will be accompanied by an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity and Origin. Production deliveries and certificate numbers will follow order sequence. Tom Petty's association with Rickenbacker goes back a long way. In 1965 Petty was sporting a hollow body double bound RIC Model 365 WB guitar in Fireglo. By the time of the "Damn the Torpedoes" album, his trademark guitar was a RIC 620/12. So it is only  fitting that some 26 years after his first RIC that Rickenbacker announces its new Tom Petty Limited Edition Guitar. This guitar has a Designated Model No 660/12TP. Entirely hand made in America from a solid block of figured Eastern Hardrock Maple. It sports a fully inlaid 21 fret Rosewood fingerboard and   uses neck-through-body design. It also features checked binding, vintage style pickups knobs, gold pickguard and nameplate. It has vintage keys designed to Rickenbacker specifications. The trapeze tailpiece and 12 saddle bridge complete this unique and beautiful instrument.
The neck on the 660/12TP was designed to Petty's own demanding standards, slightly wider than other Rickenbackers. The guitar is available in either Fireglo or Jetglo finish; a vintage-style  Rickenbacker case is included with each instrument. Only 1000 of this Tom Petty Limited Edition guitars were ever produced. Each guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity and origin.
