Rickenbacker 1997 Rose Morris 1967

GA194

Another fantastic vintage guitar that we can trace back to the day it left Shaftesbury Avenue for the first time. Not all f-hole Rickenbackers are Rose Morris guitars, but this one is. This is the 1997 model - twin pick-up no vibrato version of the 335S. GA194 has had a busy life, but used less and less in the last 20 years. A recent recommissioning returned a Trapeze to the bridge where a Gibson tailpiece had replaced the original in the 1970s. 2 new OEM knobs and a saddle cover replaced broken and missing originals, but the remaining parts and components are original and in fine health.


This is neither an unused case-queen, nor an over-restored museum piece - it is an honest old Rickenbacker that still gets occasional serious use, and never fails to deliver the look, the sound and the delight of playing the right guitar for the right song. Have a listen to the video - that's GA194 through a clean Marshall with some reverb from the GT-Pro.


The previous owner assures us that despite not being silver, the case is the case it left the shop for the first time in.


Contact us via the website if you want to see it over a videocall to check the condition and how it performs.
