The Midnight Blue finish is one of Rickenbacker’s most enduring and sophisticated color options. Known for its deep, rich blue hue with a subtle metallic sheen, Midnight Blue has been a favorite among musicians and collectors since it was first introduced in the 1980s. This finish adds a touch of elegance and modernity to Rickenbacker’s iconic instruments, making it a timeless choice for players who want both style and substance.
Midnight Blue stands out for its dark, almost navy blue color that shifts subtly under different lighting conditions, revealing a hint of metallic sparkle. The high-gloss finish accentuates the depth of the color, giving each instrument a sleek and polished appearance. This finish highlights the contours and craftsmanship of Rickenbacker guitars and basses, making them visually striking on stage and in collections.
Offered continuously since the 1980s, Midnight Blue has seen a couple variations - the earliest versions were more of an 'electric' blue, and later versions saw different shade variations, from 'almost black' to lighter shades.
