RICKENBACKER - the Beatle Backer

Pubblicata su Melody Maker il 18 settembre 1965, questa pubblicità ritrae John Lennon con la sua iconica Rickenbacker 325

“The Beatle Backer”.

 

This is the famous Rickenbacker guitar model 1996 as used by 'Beatle" JOHN LENNON. For a long lime now John and his Rickenbacker have been insep-arable, so why don't you try one at your local music shop? You, too, may find that this is the guitar you just cannot put down.

Remember - if this particular model doesn't suit you, there are five other Rickenbackers including a fabulous 4-string bass and, of course, the famous 12-string as used by George Harrison.

La Rickenbacker era ormai diventata sinonimo del nuovo sound degli anni Sessanta — e nessuno la rappresentava meglio di John.

La sua Rickenbacker 325 nera a scala corta (modello Capri) lo accompagnava fin dai tempi di Amburgo, ed è stata protagonista in momenti fondamentali come l’esordio all’Ed Sullivan Show, la Royal Variety Performance e le prime tournée americane.
