‘Rickenbacker Guitars - Out of the Frying Pan Into the Fireglo’ is the highly anticipated follow up to Martin and Paul Kelly’s ‘Fender The Golden Age 1946-1970’. Over 336 colour pages the book details the story of one of the most important and influential guitar makers of all time. From George Beauchamp’s invention of the world’s first commercially viable electric guitar in 1931, through the company’s heyday during the 1960s when their instruments were favoured by The Beatles, The Byrds and The Who, right up to the present day. The authors have been given unprecedented access to the company archives and have traveled the world to gather together over 350 original instruments – including all 7 surviving Beatles owned Rickenbackers – beautifully photographed for the most comprehensive study on this unique marque. New interviews with legendary Rickenbacker players including Roger McGuinn, Peter Buck, Susanna Hoffs, Johnny Marr, Mike Campbell, Geddy Lee, and Paul Weller make this book the most comprehensive history of the brand to date and a must for all guitar enthusiasts and fans of 20th Century Pop Culture. Roger McGuinn: “I have been reading and thoroughly enjoying your book! The attention to detail is amazing! I’ve been playing Rickenbacker guitars for over 50 years and had heard some of the history but learned so much more from Rickenbacker Guitars – Out of the Frying Pan Into the Fireglo. Thanks for such a wonderful history of my favorite guitar!” Susanna Hoffs: “There are few things more satisfying than the shimmer of an open chord played on a Rickenbacker through a Fender Deluxe Reverb amplifier. With Rickenbacker Guitars – Out of the Frying Pan Into the Fireglo, Martin and Paul have given us the definitive history of these magical instruments.” Johnny Marr: “Knowing Martin and Paul Kelly’s perfectionism and attention to detail it’s no surprise that this is the ultimate and complete story of all things Rickenbacker.”
