Rickenbacker This company, founded in 1931 and best known for lap steels, introduced its first 2 guitars in the 50's. In the early 1960's Rickenbacker history became forever wedded to the invasion of the mop-top Beatles from Liverpool, England. The Beatles used several Rickenbacker models in the early years. Thus the Beatles created unprecedented, international interest in Rickenbackers, which many fans actually believed came from Britain. Today Rickenbacker retains the spirit of first-class pre-1965 electric guitar manufacturing and craftsmanship. In addition to newly designed guitars and basses, the company offers faithful reissues of the classics played by the Beatles and other famous artists. |
