Summary: not nearly complete
Comment: The real complete history of Rickenbacker is found in Richard Smith's "Rickenbacker: History Of The Rickenbacker Guitar," which I would recommend over this book. This book, like most of the Bacon and Day books, is fine, as far as it goes; the only problem is that they never go quite far enough. There's never enough hard info in a Bacon and Day book, and that's true of this one as well as all their others. I will say one thing though, lots of terrific pictures. But that's about it. If you want to know the story behind one of America's foremost guitar companies, you need to pick up Smith's book. This is mostly useful as a picture book.
Rating: 4
Summary: Great... but could be Better!
Comment: I really enjoyed the book. However, I wish the authors had included the company's bass guitars as well. A new updated edition is greatly needed.
Rating: 3
Summary: Very Interesting
Comment: Lots of useful info on Rickenbacker guitars, but I was disappointed that there was no information of Rickenbacker Electric Basses
