Personal Reflection :
Ben really loves the tone of the Rickenbacker 620/12, especially its signature 12-string jangle that brings such a rich, layered texture to anything you play. He once said, “Even the simplest chords sound so much fuller and more complex.” The bright, shimmering sound really captures that classic 60s vibe, but it’s versatile enough to work in different styles.
The Mapleglo finish is also a real highlight, with the natural wood grain giving it a timeless, elegant look. The rosewood fretboard feels smooth and comfortable, and the compact body makes it much easier to play compared to other 12-strings. It’s got that perfect blend of vintage charm and modern playability.
Condition Report:
This 2016 Rickenbacker 620/12 is in mint condition. The Mapleglo finish is pristine, with no scratches, dents, or visible wear. The chrome hardware is shiny and untarnished, and the electronics are fully functional with no issues. The frets show minimal wear, and the guitar plays perfectly. Overall, it has been very well cared for and is ready to make its next owner fall in love with the magic of the 12-string sound.
