Yeah, would be cool to use one of the retro instruments on the record.

This instrument is manufactured from material which will not deteriorate and with ordinary care should be practically new even after years of daily use.”

From the 1936 Rickenbacker Catalog: “The Spanish Electro Guitar is small in size and is exceedingly easy to finger and hold. The finger board has fourteen frets to the body, and owing to the small-size body, the player may easily play up to the twenty-fourth fret.

It was the first commercially produced, American-made electric guitar with a standard or rounded neck. The tone of the instrument was quite thick; the magnet and its field were large, which contributed to its creamy, fat sound.

The invention was called the Bakelite Spanish Guitar. In the early 1900s, Bakelite — an early form of plastic — was used as a material for producing many items, including records, billiard balls, and more.

Here is the 2nd chapter of my guitar history series (somewhat). The topic for today is The Rickenbacker “Electro String”.

Listen to the vibrant call of the street. "Electric" wakes the city in true Britpop fashion with big, melodic guitars, swaggering hooks, and anthemic choruses that are built for sunlit terraces and late-night backstreets alike. It's classic Britpop spirit, melody-first and heart-on-sleeve, reborn for the present day. Classic Britpop influences (Oasis, Blur, Pulp) meet contemporary textures here with a modern mix that gives the song weight while preserving its live-rook energy. The result is familiar and fresh; a nostalgia with momentum. Take your time, and wake up your mind. Press play, crank the windows down, and let "Electric" pull you into the hum of the street.

This mechanism evolved throughout the years, but this is the story for the other day.

P. S. I'm planning on making somewhat a series of publications on this topic. Feel free to comment! We can learn much more via discussion! 🤝

The general manager of the National Stringed Instrument Corporation George Beauchamp and the engineer Adolf Rickenbacker are the men behind the invention.

They created the pickups: the coils, wrapped on a magnet, created an electromagnetic field that converted the strings vibration into the signal

The first prototypes appeared between 1920 and 1930. The instrument was commonly used by ensembles but it lacked volume.

The first guitar with electric componrnts inside that went on sale was the Rickenbacker Frying Pan made of cast aluminum.

The Rickenbacker Frying Pan guitar model.

I love learning something new, and, of course, music history is not an exception.

I'd like to dive into the topic of electric guitar history. The topic for today is Rickenbacker Frying Pan.

The webpage of SF City FC looks awesome, I really want to know a bit more about the Club.

Do you have any derbies/rivalries?

As a fan, would you like to see SF City FC in MLS?

I'm curious about football (soccer) in San Francisco, after a bit of research I found SF City FC. As I see, the USL2 season is quite short (from May to August, correct me if I'm wrong), but there's a big gap without games.

Does SF City FC play only in USL2 or there are any friendly tornaments?

Well, I try to enhance the track if I feel that I don't completely like it. After some time you realize, how you can fix it.

Wow, that's really awesome!

And there are some neat details: I see there mini-versions of Kappa and Puma matchballs.

It's a really nice instrument, thank you for a review. Do you have any tracks where it can be heard 'in action'?

Wow, looks like a spaceship to me 😅👍

Wow, what a cool guitar (I'm talking about the first one from the right on your page picture)!

Is it a replica of 1930s instrument? I've seen them only in the documentaries.

My cherry-sunburst Les Paul with the new strings.

I've finally put new strings on the guitar.

Love the colour of the shirt. Would be even cooler with the long sleeves

Yeah, I hear it. It gives a bit of a character to the sound 👍

Hmm, actually sounds like a good approach. I definitely need to try it. Thank you!
