Yes. Just one currently though, a MapleGlo 660-12.
I've previously owned several, including a 1967 360-12 in FireGlo, a 1989 370-12RM in MapleGlo, a 1995 330-12 in MapleGlo, and a 2015 360 6-string in MapleGlo.
I also own a 2019 Olympic White Stratocaster XII and a 2017 Gretsch Country Gentleman 6122-12 in Amber Stain. But the Rickenbacker 660-12 is my favorite 12-string.

Nice! You do not see a lot of Rickenbackers... I have the same thing but different: Ric 660-6 in maple blue burst with checkerboard binding. 2007 is the only year Rickenbacker made these. I do not play it enough. Does this one count too?

That's my dream Rick, Peegoo. I like Ric's a lot, have owned 4 but really dislike the "R" tailpiece.

I thought about swapping in an R tailpiece years ago, but they're not exactly easy to find. Rickenbacker does not sell them. The only way to get one is a take-off from a guitar, and most Ric people don't swap parts around like they do with Fenders and Gibsons.

That is one beautiful 660 Mr. Goo. Hope to see it in the sale section one day!

Sometimes it's nice to have all the strings off and give it s good cleaning.
Restringing with the R is tedious.

I'd love, love, love a Tom Petty model. I can only imagine the cost but I bet it's a keeper.

Had a Ric 330/12 in Montezuma Brown (special color), sounded great but the neck was too small for my big fat fingers and I just couldn't adjust to it.
Traded it (+ cash) for a Huss & Dalton OOO-Custom. The Ric was a beautiful guitar but I'm much happier with the Huss.

Love that 330 12 .... is the S.Hoffs a 12 or a 6 string?

I believe the Hoffs sig model is a 6-string.
And that is some 660-12/TP that you have!

I have a basic 330 Rickenbacker in Fireglow finish. It's a good guitar. I also owned a 360-12 but could not get along with the narrow neck so I eventually sold it. It did sound great though.
I later satisfied my urge for an electric 12 with a Reverend Airwave.

At one time my brother let me borrow his old-style Ric 360-12, the one that George played. I think you have to dedicate yourself to it.

I later satisfied my urge for an electric 12 with a Reverend Airwave. I too had the Rick 12 string. Bought it used in NYC on 48th Ave. Loved the sound and it sure was beautiful, but playable? Not so much. Still, I wish I had kept it. BTW, those guitar stores along 48th Ave in NYC - all gone! Even the buildings have been torn down. Major disappointment when I visited in December.
