The 1986 Rickenbacker Jetglo Black is a striking example of the craftsmanship and unmistakable style that have made Rickenbacker instruments so iconic. Its maple body and maple/walnut neck-through construction deliver the bright attack, sustain, and clarity that define the classic Rickenbacker sound, while the lacquered rosewood fingerboard and 24-fret design provide a smooth, fast playing experience. Finished in timeless Jetglo Black, this vintage instrument carries the distinctive look and feel that has captivated players for decades. As a well-preserved example from the mid-1980s, it represents both a unique musical tool and a compelling piece of Rickenbacker history for players and collectors alike.
The Rickenbacker International Corporation (RIC) grew out of the first company founded for the sole purpose of creating and manufacturing fully electric musical instruments and amplifiers-the Los Angeles-based Electro String Instrument Corporation. Founded in 1931 by Adolph Rickenbacker and George D. Beauchamp, this pioneering firm produced "Rickenbacker Electro Instruments", the first modern electric guitars. RIC's history now spans 88 years in business on the leading edge of music trends that have changed popular culture forever. Played by Hawaiian musicians of the 1930s to jazz bassists of the 1990s, by the Beatles and Byrds to the most-current rock groups on MTV, the ringing sound of Rickenbacker instruments has helped define music as we know it. Never resting on its laurels, RIC continues to ignite and propel the electric guitar's transformation of music by providing today's musicians with the finest instruments available.
