RICKENBACKER ANNIVERSARY MODELS

The California-based brand celebrates 90 years with two special editions!

Congratulations are in order! Rickenbacker, your favorite jangly rocker, is celebrating its 90th trip around the sun with two special-edition commemorative models: the 4005XC four-string bass and 480XC guitar.

Available in either Amber FireGlo or JetGlo, the 30.5”-scale 4005XC features crushed pearl inlays, a classic skunk stripe, vintage-style pickups, stereo output, checked binding, guitar fret wire, and a vintage reissue case. 

Available in your choice of TobaccoGlo or JetGlo, the 480XC electric guitar also sports crushed pearl inlays, as well as a mono output, dual 12K Hot Toaster pickups, Macassar ebony fretboard, a vintage reissue case, and black hardware set with Schaller bridge.

SHOP 90th ANNIVERSARY RICKENBACKER

Both are fitting tributes to a brand whose fingerprints are all over the music of then and now, but they’re not the only way to celebrate. You can remember Rickenbacker with an authentic vintage model, an Al Cisneros Signature 4003AC, or any of their core models for righties and lefties. Whichever you choose, when you pick a Ric, you put 90 years of history behind you. Shop a rock and roll right of passage today.

Fender Vintage Modified '68 Custom Pro Reverb Silverface

$2,331.00
The ‘68 Customs have become an extremely popular amp series for guitarists who love classic Fender sounds along with toneful modifications that resonate with today’s players.

The ‘68 Custom Pro Reverb takes its cues from the original 40-watt model, improving its portability and tonal flexibility by reducing the cabinet size and weight, moving to a single-channel format and single 12” speaker, and adding a middle tone control. This refined and upgraded amp is the perfect size and volume for almost any gig, and may be the ultimate pedal-friendly platform.

$1,457.00
The ’68 Customs have become an extremely popular amp series for guitarists who love classic Fender sounds along with toneful modifications that resonate with today’s players. 

At just 5 watts, the original Vibro Champ was famous for classic Fender tremolo, tube sparkle and killer grind at a reasonable level. The ’68 Custom Vibro Champ Reverb improves on this classic amp by adding hall-emulating DSP reverb and using a larger 10” speaker for increased low end. These additions make this little wonder perfect for rehearsal, home recording and even small gigs.
