Rickenbacker Guitars

Rickenbacker electric guitars have provided the 'jangle' in popular Rock music for over 50 years now. These classic guitars, built in Santa Ana, California, have kept their original shapes and styles. Rickenbacker also make their own pickups and ignore trends in technology, making sure these hand made guitars are as good as the classics from the 60s.

Considering how distinct they are sonically and physically, it is interesting to note how many players from different genres love 'Rickies'. From punk to jangly pop to stadium rock, there is a diverse list of artists using Rickenbackers to this very day.

Many of the more famous Rickenbacker models are semi-hollow and have a very distinct 'jangle' quality to their sound. It is fair to say that Rickenbackers are the definitive guitars for this type of sound: their electric 12 string guitars more than solidify this point.
