HANDCRAFTED IN THE USA
Every Rickenbacker guitar is built by hand in our factory in Santa Ana, CA. Each guitar begins in the wood shop. Every portion of the instrument must be properly attended to, as the proprietary finish system used at RIC is very thin and unforgiving of any flaw. Only the finest American-made electronic components are used in the construction of Rickenbacker’s circuits. Once assembled, each instrument passes through exhaustive inspections. Rickenbacker is proud of its set-up and testing procedures, resulting in the many compliments from musicians that the guitars are ready to play.

Rickenbacker guitars are unique in both how they manage their production and the limited amount of guitars they produce annual.  As a result, Naperville Music always maintains many On-Order guitars at all times. What we are saying is that our inventory is unpredictable.  Always check with us for guitars we have on order and the estimated delivery times for those guitars.
