The Rickenbacker International Corporation (RIC) grew out of the first company founded for the sole purpose of creating and manufacturing fully electric musical instruments and amplifiers-the Los Angeles-based Electro String Instrument Corporation. Founded in 1931 by Adolph Rickenbacker and George D. Beauchamp, this pioneering firm produced "Rickenbacker Electro Instruments", the first modern electric guitars. RIC's history now spans 77 years in business on the leading edge of music trends that have changed popular culture forever.

  • Listen to my new Rickenbacker 330, it's awesome! /watch?v=WbHmuexfuBw

  • @Davesintexas Both. The necks are made from more than one kind of wood (maple and rosewood) giving it the stripe and then they are sprayed with the finish.

  • @extremeeXrement1 u mad?

  • I love Rickenbackers. I still say they should make an affordable 4000 bass reissue. jmo.

  • for 3600 dollars this shit should be handcrafted! no machine! No spray!

  • Fuck you Grover Jackson.

  • chickenfucker guitars

  • @puppiesinspace I've never had the chance to play a ric or a handmade guitar, but on principle I agree, I imagine guitars handmade by a local luthier are better than guitars made by a number of people and machines in a factory. However, I also imagine having a luthier build you a guitar completely by hand from scratch would be very expensive, considering the time involved- the reason companies like Rickenbacker, Fender, Gibson etc use factories.

  • @mrsub360 Local Luthiers where I live build better guitars than anything I've ever seen shit out by Rickenbacker. I know how bitter I sound after all of these comments, but I'm 100% serious.
