Founded in 1931 by Adolph Rickenbacker and George D. Beauchamp, this pioneering firm produced ""Rickenbacker Electro Instruments"", the first modern electric guitars. RIC's history now spans 85 years in business on the leading edge of music trends that have changed popular culture forever. Played by Hawaiian musicians of the 1930s to jazz bassists of the 1990s, by the Beatles and Byrds to the most-current rock groups on MTV, the ringing sound of Rickenbacker instruments has helped define music as we know it. Never resting on its laurels, RIC continues to ignite and propel the electric guitar's transformation of music by providing today's musicians with the finest instruments available.
