Pete Townshend has been associated with a wide variety of guitars over the course of his storied career, but his story begins with Rickenbackers. Back in the early days of the British Invasion, he could often be seen playing various Rickenbacker six and twelve-string axes that he purchased from a British dealer called Rose Morris (check the iconic "Maximum R&B" poster advertising their gig at the Marquee--he's doing his signature windmill over a Ricky 1998!). Because their bright, jangly sound suited Pete's power chord riffage so well, he chose to record the majority of The Who's early output on his Rickenbackers, too. Rickenbacker has reprised his beloved 1993 from his Mod days, and they have delivered a truly spectacular recreation of one of rock and roll's most important guitars.
The 1993Plus sets itself apart from the pack in a variety of ways, but the most important one is the way it feels. Rickenbacker made the neck an eighth of an inch wider at the nut to accommodate players who need wider string spacing for intricate picking patterns, rounded off the neck heel to make it more comfortable to play on the higher frets, and made the neck out of two sturdy pieces of maple instead of one to promote greater stability. They've also dropped in three vintage-style toaster pickups to achieve authentic old-school sounds, and added in an x-bracing pattern to bring out a bit more warmth and roundness from the maple body.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that these 1993s look sharp, too! The double-binding on the body really highlights the curves of this iconic shape, and the pearlescent triangle inlays look sharp against the backdrop of the glossy rosewood fretboard. It all adds up to a Rickenbacker that embodies the spirit of Pete Townshend: brash, full of attitude, and ready for any musical adventure that comes its way. Wildwood Guitars is proud to showcase the Rickenbacker 1993Plus for our exceptional customers, and we can't wait to see how they inspire you to rock out (just promise us that you'll be nicer to them than Pete was to his!).

Rickenbacker the most Beautiful Gutar ever made
I don't know what anybody else thinks of this young man but, I think he's absolutely fantastic! Keep up the great work bro!
That is Greg Koch - one of the best players on the planet.
I absolutely love the look of a Rickenbacker flame top. The sound, too. GK's playing? Masterful
Glorious !
The standard wiring on three-pup ricks is to keep the neck and middle slaved together. Which is kinda dumb. What they need is a control setup that allows the middle pup and neck pups to be used independently. The middle pup isn't super useful as is.
The fifth knob is basically a redundant volume control for the middle/neck pups. But, it doesn't completely cut the volume and does add a different color to the tone.
are you a time traveler? You commented on this video 9 days before it was posted.
@@brich2929 I posted it nine days ago! Weird.
That's why I rewired the 5th knob as a middle pickup volume
@@a.battaglia4024 I find the neck pup is all I use most of the time ;)
on my two pick up 1971 360/6 Deluxe, the fifth knob rolls off the volume on the front pick up when both pick up volumes are set at full, from what I have read the neck pick up is far more powerful than the bridge, mine has transitional high gain pickups in it...cant remember the impedances off the top of my head, but... rickenbacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/manual.pdf
Could have sworn I saw this last week...
yes maybe on Greg's channel?
Mr Koch dears to fire up those Ricks with lots of distortion. They sound great either way.

This guy could grow up to be a pretty good guitar player.
Never played the "Plus" version. I have a 330/12 and wonder how the larger nut size would feel? I would rather the dot inlay for the true earlier original 1993 look vs. the shark tooth inlay look. All good, but prefer the dot inlay. Great video and envy your guitar skills!
Major Beatles guitar 🎸
Ha. Try your fancy dan solo shenanigans on that lad! 🤘
What amp. effects are you using?
exactly what I want except for that damn f hole. Deal breaker.
The irony is most RIC collectors seek out the F-hole because it’s the “unique” rare one.
Do more acoustics again chumpy
