Amidst the millions of guitars in the market – from the famous instruments such as Fender Stratocaster and the Gibson Les Paul, and the millions of replicas around the world, there is one guitar that stands out among the rest. While all the guitars in the world have various similarities, there is a guitar that knows how to produce a different sound and would definitely get you noticed. It’s the Rickenbacker, baby.
Rickenbacker has been here for quite a while now and had produced many popular guitars that were associated with famous icons, take the Rickenbacker 325 Electric guitar for example; it was used by the legendary John Lennon when he was still in the beatles, and everybody and I mean EVERYBODY knows John Lennon. The guitar he always use it the Rickenbacker.
Basically, they kind of look like Stratocasters on drugs, or a pimped-out Stratocaster, with their big – flat bodies, often with traditional sound holes, a Ricky ‘r’ bridge and a weirdly unique headstock. Use one of these and you’ll definitely stand out among the rest. The thing, however, that really makes the Rickenbacker so special is the unique sound that it produces. This is mainly because of the toaster pickups that it uses. It produces that distinct and delicious vintage sound that vintage lovers look for in a guitar.
Rickenbacker is best used on genres in between heavy rock such as pop, alternative rock, jazz and country. This is definitely a must have for vintage lovers
