Rickenbacker

Rickenbacker is an American maker of electric guitars and bass guitars, with a history dating to 1931. It is widely associated with early commercially produced electric guitars and with the distinctive sound of its electric twelve-string models, which became prominent in 1960s popular music.

Its range includes semi-hollow guitars such as the 360, solidbody guitars such as the 660, and basses including the 4003. Rickenbacker guitars are particularly associated with bright, chiming tones, while its basses are recognised for their distinctive body styling and prominent role in rock music. Paul McCartney and Peter Steele are among the documented users of Rickenbacker instruments.
