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.
