Rickenbacker 4080 Double Neck Bass and 6-String Guitar (JetGlo) - Vintage 1986
SOLD - This is a great example of the rare and super cool Rickenbacker 4080 Jet Glo double neck. Rickenbacker started making a very limited production run of double necks in 1975 - before that they were special order only – with three models – a 12-string /6-string guitar and two models with guitar and bass – the 4080-12 (4-string on top, 12-string on bottom) and the 4080 (4-string on top, 6-string on bottom). This is a rare 1986 Rickenbacker model 4080 double neck (six string 480 guitar and four string 4001 bass). The guitar is all original with some repair that was made long ago on the bass neck near the nut.
