Rickenbacker Guitar Factory Tour - Part 2/3- 09.18.09
First you saw the Beatles Rock Band controller versus the actual Rickenbacker 325, next you got to peek into the woodshop, now take a look at how the guitars get finished ~ from the priming to the sanding to how each and every little electronic component finds it way to make the Rickenbacker 325 the icon it is…

I love this site. I have a Rick that fell on the ground and broke
One of the keywinds. I can’t find one to fix it. I took the Guitar to musiic shops who
Said I need to Order straight from Rickenbacker. Can you help me?
Thanks Danny
