This guitar is a prototype and the first full-scale Deluxe 360/5 Capri model made by Rickenbacker. It has an extremely attractive flame-maple butcher-block style top with single gold pickguard, Combo-style pickup selector switch and tone selector switch, master volume and tone knobs and a Kauffman vibrola. Unlike the production full scale Capris that followed, it is distinguished by a Combo-style wiring and one-piece neck with no middle “walnut” stripe, an extra-long “crescent” soundhole, and a wooden cap on the neck heel that extends over the body binding. The long soundhole on this and other early full-scale Capris was shortened later in 1958. This guitar is depicted on page 100 of the book: “Rickenbacker Guitars: Pioneers of the Electric Guitar” (2023). Note the RIC postcard featuring a photo of this guitar when new and a description on the back. This guitar is in excellent original condition with its OHSC. SN: 2V110
