1971 Rickenbacker Lightshow (331) – FireGlo
This 1971 Rickenbacker Lightshow (Model 331), in its original Fireglo finish, will brighten your day! This was the first full year of this model’s introduction (as it debuted mid-70), and it’s a real showstopper! It features two swirled lucite panels with lights mounted underneath that illuminate when the guitar is played! This guitar is certainly not just its looks, as this one happens to be a great player, and with the help of its Hi-Gain pickups, it sounds incredible too! It has Rickenbacker’s typical dual pickup knob configuration, along with another small knob near the tailpiece that controls the response of the lights. We have the original transformer included with the sale so that you can enjoy this piece’s great tones and unbelievable looks!
