Rickenbacker Guitar

RICKENBACKER GUITAR
 
 
Rickenbacker International Corporation,  also known as Rickenbacker, is an electric string instrument manufacturer based in Santa Ana, California.  In 1932, the company became the world’s first to produce electric guitars and eventually produced a range of electric guitars and bass guitars.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

The Church is a long-lived Australian alternative rock band that was founded in 1980.  The band is known for their psychedelic flourishes and Byrds-style Rickenbacker guitars.  Their wonderful fifth album Starfish, which came out in 1988, includes one of my favorite 1980’s songs, “Under the Milky Way”.
