Vintage Rickenbacker Guitars
Vintage Rickenbacker 330JG Guitar
This guitar was made famous by Beatles guitarist John Lennon who bought a Rickenbacker 325 Capri, which he used throughout the early days of The Beatles. John Lennon played this guitar for The Beatles' famous 1964 debut on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Many Rickenbackers both guitars and basses are equipped to be compatible with a "Rick-O-Sound" unit via an extra "stereo" output socket that allows the two pickups to be connected to different effects units or amplifiers.
Known for their distinctive jangle and chime, Rickenbacker guitars in general were equipped with lower-output "Toaster" pickups until they were phased out circa 1969-70. Hereafter, most Rickenbacker guitars were equipped with the newer design "Hi-Gain" pickups. In most cases, these pickups had twice the output of their illustrious predecessors.
This change was almost certainly due to the trend toward the louder "Rock" sounds of the 1970s. Because of their tone, the guitars tended to be favoured by Jangle Pop, Power pop and British Invasion-style groups. In particular, the older "Toaster" pickup-equipped 12-string guitars have been associated with The Who, The Byrds and The Beatles among others.

Vintage Fender Electric Guitars - Heres the line of guitars that all the other Electric Guitars Famous. Although Fender was not the first to manufacture an electric guitar they did make it popular. Heres a little history of Fender Guitars...
Fender offered the first mass-produced solid-body Spanish-style electric guitar, the Telecaster; the first mass-produced electric bass, the Precision Bass (P-Bass); and popular Stratocaster (Strat) guitar. While Fender was not the first to manufacture electric guitars, as other companies and luthiers had produced electric guitars since the late 1920s, none was as commercially successful as Fender's.
Furthermore, while nearly all other electric guitars then were either hollow-body guitars or more specialized instruments such as Rickenbacker's solid-body Hawaiian guitars, Fender had created versatile solid-body electric guitars. These guitars were and still are popular for musicians in a variety of genres.
The core of the Fender instrument line — the Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass and Jazz Bass, remain largely unchanged from the 1950s and 1960s originals (Roberts, Jim 2003 American Basses: A Illustrated History).
