	Rickenbacker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1964 Rickenbacker developed an electric twelve-string guitar with an innovative headstock design that enabled all twelve machine heads to be fitted onto a standard-length headstock by alternately mounting pairs of machine heads at right-angles to the other.
		Many Rickenbackers — both guitars and basses — are equipped to be compatible with a "Rick-O-Sound" unit via an extra "stereo" output socket, that allows the two pickups (or neck and middle pickup combined/bridge pickup, in the case of three pickup instruments) to be connected to different effects units or amplifiers.
		Rickenbackers were adopted by other 1960s notables, including Roger McGuinn of The Byrds, Pete Townshend of The Who, Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys, Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane and Steppenwolf but they fell out of fashion in the early '70s, though Rickenbacker basses remained in favor.
