About this product

Product Information

(Book). The definitive history of the world's most famous 12-string electric guitar. When the Byrds recorded their hit version of Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man," they popularized a new sound in pop music: the electric 12-string guitar. Rickenbacker is the guitar maker that brought the electric 12-string to market and has since been almost single-handedly responsible for establishing what such a guitar should do. The California company gave one of its earliest 12-strings to George Harrison of the Beatles on the group's first tour of the United States in 1964. He immediately used it live and in the studio and showed off the sound of electric jangle to the rest of the world. This book tells the story of those heady days in the '60s, of the competitors who tried and failed to match the sound, and of the instrument's continuing production by Rickenbacker and use by many modern guitarists. Complete with high-quality photos and exclusive interviews with many of the 12-string's leading players, this is the best guide yet to the history of the sound of jingle-jangle.

  • Rickenbacker Electric 12-string book by Tony Bacon

    This book is a must if you're a Ric 12 sting fan. With that said, I was a bit disappointed that it seemed just a bit below the level of quality of the previous books by Bacon, the Rickenbacker, Fender and Gretsch books. While very similar, it's not quite the same. I was a bit suprised on how little space was devoted to Roger McGuinn- you could almost write a book about McGuinn and his Rickenbacker. Perhaps at least a chapter would be in order? Overall, I'm glad Bacon wrote it and glad to own it, but I still crave more detail. I'd love some detail about repairs, weak spots, maybe some factory photos? Perhaps this is not possible with the way Rickenbacker is run, but it seems that these books would sell even more guitars for them.
