Marking Rickenbacker's nine decades of innovation, this Limited Edition 480XC represents a pivotal moment in Rickenbacker's history. As one of two exclusive anniversary models, this guitar captures the essence of what makes Rickenbacker guitars distinctive—timeless design paired with unmistakable tones. The 480XC shines as a piece of the brand's legacy with refined craftsmanship that has defined this Southern California lutherie since 1931.

This Limited Edition 480XC revives a classic design that disappeared from Rickenbacker's lineup over four decades ago, reimagined for contemporary players. The body contours draw inspiration from the their iconic bass designs, creating an instrument that delivers exceptional comfort. This is an instrument with distinctive tonal characteristics that set it apart from other electric guitars. As a numbered anniversary release, this a rare opportunity to acquire a guitar that bridges Rickenbacker's storied past with modern improvements.

This anniversary model elevates the original 480 design with a Schaller bridge engineered for enhanced sustain and tonal clarity. Dual hot-wound Toaster pickups deliver the jangly, articulate character that Rickenbackers are known for, with a voice that cuts through any mix. The blackened hardware contrasts beautifully against the signature checkerboard binding, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard features crushed pearl block inlays that catch light with elegance.

This limited edition guitar is an exceptional instrument and is primo condition.  It comes with its original hardshell case and paperwork.  The techs in our shop have set it up to play perfectly and it's ready for the next collector's collection.
