Rickenbacker 1993Plus 12-String Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar in Fireglo

When Pete Townshend comes knocking with a request to revive a classic, you don’t say no — you get to work! The Rickenbacker 1993Plus is a loving evolution of his much‑loved Model 1993, originally a Rose Morris UK exclusive back in the ’60s. This updated take keeps the unmistakable DNA intact while introducing a handful of smart, player‑focused refinements that make it more comfortable, more stable and more inspiring than ever.

Comfy neck & premium feel

One of the headline upgrades is the slightly wider neck, measuring 1.75" at the nut, giving 12‑string players a bit more breathing room without losing that familiar Rickenbacker feel. The two‑piece Maple neck adds improved stability, while the rounded heel makes upper‑fret exploration a breeze. Topped with a 10”-radius Chechen (Caribbean rosewood) fingerboard and those classy pearlescent triangle inlays, the 1993Plus feels premium, playable and beautifully put together.

That iconic Rickenbacker jangle

Plug in and you’re straight into unmistakable Ric territory. Three vintage reissue toaster‑top single‑coil pickups deliver that shimmering, chiming chorus that 12‑string fans live for — rich, warm and gloriously melodic. Add stereo output for tonal flexibility, a versatile control layout with a middle pickup blend, plus internal X‑bracing to enhance resonance, and you’ve got a guitar that doesn’t just nod to the past but genuinely elevates it.

Timeless looks, built in the USA

From its gloss‑finished Maple body and elegant F‑hole to the trapeze tailpiece, vintage knobs and double body binding, the 1993Plus looks every bit as special as it sounds. RIC Deluxe tuners keep everything in tune, the split‑saddle bridge ensures spot‑on intonation, and it all comes safely housed in a hard case. Crafted in the USA and dripping with heritage, this is a serious 12‑string for players who want authentic tone, iconic style and a true piece of rock history.
