The V Series is a tribute to the timeless designs that have defined Rickenbacker through the ages. Vintage style hardware give these instruments that classic look and sound of popular models from the company’s history. The vintage “toaster” top pickups ring out with that quintessential Rickenbacker jangle that has chimed out through the years.
Based on the classic 325 Series guitars, this vintage stylization updates the traditional design to full scale size and performance. Vintage Single Coil Toaster Top™ pickups, solid black knobs, replica tuners, and trapeze tailpiece hark back to another era, but offers the feel and sound which modern day guitarists demand.
Perhaps the most anticipated re-issue in Rickenbacker history. The 4005V is inspired by the iconic 4005 semi-acoustic body introduced in 1965. The updated version of this classic boasts two vintage pickups, crushed pearl inlays, checkered binding, and Rickenbacker’s new single dual-action truss rod. Built with the same slimmed down neck profile of the 4003 and an X braced semi-acoustic body that provides the same deep warm tone as its 60’s predecessor.
