Hey Everyone!
We are opening a Rickenbacker gallery where Rickenbacker lovers can post pictures of their guitars. The iconic design and unique sounds make this one of the most fascinating electric guitars ever made. It that has been immortalized in the sixties by The Beatles, The Byrds’ Roger McGuinn, The Who’s Pete Townshend, Creedence Clearwater’s John Fogerty and Paul Kantner from Jefferson Airplane. In the seventies Prog met Punk and it was common to see Bruce Foxton of The Jam and Mike Rutherford of Genesis making sense of the Rickenbacker bass although I can’t imagine seeing Paul Weller with a Rickenbacker double neck. There was also Geddy Lee from Rush, Chris Squire from Yes and in early incarnations of the band Peter Banks, later of Flash, played a Rickenbacker. In the eighties we had three members of The Smithereens and Peter Buck of REM, Susannah Hoffs from The Bangles and of course Lemmy. I could probably just continue with a very long list of important Rickenbacker players but the idea is to set up a gallery for you to post your proud Rickenbacker pictures. Send your pics to olivia@martywillson-piper.com and we will post them here:
