Welcome to Rare, Vintage, Rickenbackers (& others)
Welcome to Rare, Vintage, Rickenbackers (& others)
For over three decades, I have immersed myself in the world of guitars, starting with my first Rickenbacker in 1990 and acquiring my first vintage Rickenbacker in 1993. Since then, I’ve owned hundreds of Rickenbackers, each one a unique piece of musical history. My passion doesn’t stop there; my interest spans various manufacturers, encompassing rare and common, vintage and new instruments.
In the early days of the internet, forums were a haven for genuine knowledge sharing. You could ask a question and receive insightful, expert answers. While a few excellent forums remain, unfortunately, those days seem to have mostly faded, replaced by a barrage of random comments and misinformation.
This website aims to revive that spirit of true expertise and meaningful discussion. Here, we will share our extensive knowledge and passion for Rickenbacker guitars and other beloved instruments. Whether you are a seasoned collector, a novice enthusiast, or simply curious, this site is dedicated to providing you with accurate information, engaging stories, and a community where genuine knowledge and passion for guitars can flourish once more.
Join me in exploring the fascinating world of guitars, from the rare and vintage to the new and iconic. Let’s keep the spirit of authentic knowledge sharing alive.
No Rics were harmed in these photos (hours of work to place cloth out of the camera's view between each instrument)
