Rickenbacker Guitars: Out of the Frying Pan into the Fireglo Shapero Rare Books

17-31 MARCH 2022

Only 26 copies of this edition will be available, each with an individually signed letter from John Hall himself, and original vintage items from the company's archive, including the 1968 catalogue which John designed himself.

To mark the launch of this special limited edition, Phantom Books have commissioned a special exhibition of original Rickenbacker guitars and limited edition prints.

'Rickenbacker Guitars - Out of the Frying Pan Into the Fireglo' covers the history of one of the world's most iconic guitar brands from the invention of the electric guitar in 1931 through to the present day. Electric guitars are not simply musical instruments. At their best, they are iconic works of art, a marriage of form and function that has come to symbolise the very essence of 20th-century pop culture.
