Rickenbacker Turquoise

Turquoise is one of Rickenbacker’s most distinctive finishes, known for its vibrant blue-green color that immediately stands out from the company’s traditional palette. The color first appeared in the 1950s under the name “Turquoise Blue.” A slightly different shade returned decades later as “Turquoise,” produced from the late 1990s into the early 2000s. The bright, tropical tone shifts subtly between blue and green depending on lighting, and the high-gloss finish enhances its depth and vibrancy. On Rickenbacker’s classic instrument shapes, the color creates a striking and unmistakable visual presence. Because both production periods were relatively limited, Turquoise instruments are uncommon and remain especially appealing to collectors looking for something outside the usual Rickenbacker finishes.
