Roger McGuinn’s 1964 Rickenbacker 360-12
Roger McGuinn of The Byrds purchased this guitar in 1965 after watching George Harrison play a 12-string in the film “A Hard Day’s Night.” The guitar was stolen a year later and didn’t resurface until many years later, by which time the statute of limitations for the theft had expired. It was ultimately repurchased for $100,000.
