The Rickenbacker legacy
A seed first sewn in 1939 by Adolph Rickenbacker, it's since grown to become one of the most distinctive guitars of all time. It's no wonder John Lennon swore by it. During his early days with The Beatles, the Rickenbacker became a signature of his, and suited the jangly pop songs he was performing - it was unlike any other guitar being played at the time. The sweet, bright tone provided the perfect backdrop to Jeff Buckley's powerful melancholic voice. This instrument's ability to adapt to a wide range of genres across the decades is truly remarkable.
