Rickenbacher Electro Model B Electric Spanish Guitar Black, 1936

On July 19, 2021 /

The Rickenbacher Electro Model B ES was not the first electric guitar, as it’s based on a Hawaiian version, but it is one of the very first Electric Spanish guitars produced for retail sale. Introduced in 1935, the Model B Electic Spanish is based on the Model B Lap or Hawaiian model introduced in 1931. At the time the Rickenbacher Electro Model B was launched, the only other Electric Spanish model in production was also a Rickenbacker product – the 1935 Ken Roberts model.

❌SOLD❌ Rickenbacker 360 Jetglo Black Hardware, 1988

On February 20, 2021 /

The Rickenbacker 360 Jetglo finish is a gloss black treatment on a Maple body and neck. The original design for the 300 series guitars builds the body from two sections of Maple. The top cap is given an external shape, then the interior is routed out from the back to create a hollow cavity. After bracing and shaping, a flat Maple back is put on and on some models, the join is bound (there is no binding on the 330). This is why 360 body binding tends to be on the sound holes and back, only.

❌SOLD❌ Rickenbacker 1997SPC Fireglo, 2000

On January 8, 2021 /

The Rickenbacker 1997SPC reproduces the three-pickup 1997 model built 1964 to 1967 for export to the United Kingdom, largely sold by Rose Morris and featuring a ‘traditional’ F hole rather than the Rickenbacker slash.
Based on the model 330 designed by expatriate German luthier Roger Rossmeisl and introduced in 1958 and similar to the 340, the original 1997 differed largely in having the narrow violin type F shaped soundhole and a third pickup.

❌SOLD❌ Rickenbacher Electro B6 ‘Panda’ Bakelite Lap Steel Guitar, c. 1945

On December 7, 2020 /

The Rickenbacher Electro B6 ‘Panda’ Bakelite body and neck Lap Steel was built from 1935 to 1955 and demonstrated a number of changes over the years including a change in the company name to Rickenbacker. Here we’re looking at a Rickenbacher Electro B6 ‘Panda’ bakelite lap steel, dating to around 1945. As this example seems to not have a serial number (normally stamped on the end of the headstock) dating is established via construction and features. There were three periods of production for these models, prewar, wartime, and postwar. However, there is some overlap in these periods as parts were used up.
