Semi-hollow; maple, single bound back FACTOIDS & TRIVIA
Based on Carl's 1965 Rickenbacker Model 360, the Carl Wilson Signature Model is not a true '65 reissue but a composite of vintage and modern Ric features. The rounded body style was introduced on the Model 360 in mid-1964. It differed not only cosmetically from its double bound predecessor, but structurally as well. The rounded body style has thicker sides and the greater wood mass alters the tone slightly. The Carl Wilson Signature Model has a thinner top than modern production Model 360's making for a lively, resonant guitar with a loud acoustic voice. Rickenbacker produced the 360CW in 6-string and 12-string versions.
