Check out this one of a kind Light Mocha Creme Rickenbacker 360/12C63 "Wide-Neck" on Ebay(Link)

I don't even want to look at the price its going for...

It's a one-off experimental model being sold directly by the Rickenbacker factory outlet store.

Did they ever do a red color with black hardware? I seem to remember seeing one but can't find any photos.

The red was like a Cardinal red, solid, not a wine or transparent. Maybe I just imagined it.

That's it but it doesn't look as great on the regular 360 shape.

The coolest thing about the listing you posted is that it has a wider neck.

It really bothers me that Rickenbacker doesn't make the wide neck standard on 12 string models....It's either pay $1400 for the 620/12 or an extra $800 for the 660/12 in order to get the wide neck. I don't even know if they make any production 330 or 360 12 string variation with a wide neck

They don't make a regular production model with a wide neck.This is an experimental model so maybe they were thinking about it.

Yeah and that's really cool. On the Ric forums people have been carefully asking for wider necks for years, only to be told to buy a 660 or something like that.

Nice to see they're making prototypes and such.

Once I went to my local ric dealer (when I first joined my band and was playing 12 string exclusively for the most part) with the intention of upgrading to a 330/12 from my dano dc12....they have a good price on them $1700 new) and I had convinced myself the purchase would be justified and had the cash....but when I played it, it didn't feel as comfortable as the Danelectro, definitely not for spending that much more money. Rickenbacker necks are already narrow for 6 strings, with 12 they're pretty much all equal distance from each other.

Yeah,many players including alot of Rick players would rather have a wider board on the hollow bodies. I have seen a couple in the past but I think they were custom orders. Very rare if not impossible to find.

I am really surprised they made a new model with black hard ware.The original ones from the 80's had problems.The tail piece would break on some because they were too brittle,the 12 strings in particular had that problem.
