Color Collection

Rickenbacker White

The White finish is one of Rickenbacker's most striking and visually captivating color options. Known for its clean, bright appearance, the White finish has been a favorite among musicians and collectors for its bold and timeless look. This finish adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to Rickenbacker's iconic instruments. Rickenbacker first introduced the White finish in the mid-1970s, and it was offered until the late 1980s. This finish made a notable return in the 1990s for limited runs due to popular demand (often called Snowglo). The bright, pristine white color gave Rickenbacker instruments a distinctive and modern look that stood out on stage and in collections. Most, but not all, vintage White finishes have yellowed - either to a mild cream, or to a 'dirty yellow'. Unfortunately, the yellowing is generally uneven, resulting in something that has limited appeal. The modern Snowglo finsihed doen't exhibit this.
