And to make it, he used an arsenal of vintage treasures, including his beloved ’53 Gibson Les Paul. By Lisa Sharken The Rickenbacher M11 The name “Rickenbacker” conjures images of John Lennon’s 325, George Harrison’s 360/12, or Pete Townshend’s smashed guitars. Probe Rick’s earlier history, however, and you find a company at the forefront of electrification and amplification. By Dave Hunter Martin 0-42 Through the years, Martin’s dreadnought, OM, and 000 guitars may have gained the most notoriety. But for the sweetest and best-quality sound, Martin itself recommends the size 0, exemplified by this 0-42. By George Gruhn and Walter Carter Fender Amps, by the Number The sixth installment in a series inspired by a “call to action” from the mid ’90s, the author tracks the serial numbers of Fender tube amps made between 1946 and 1984. By Greg Gagliano The Applause by Ovation The word “budget” has been part of its identity from the very beginning. But the Applause, conceived circa 1973, was also something entirely new to the guitar world. By Michael Wright Black Holes in the Sky Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd’s Psychedelic Avatar After guiding Pink Floyd to early acclaim, he was dismissed from the band. Then, in June, 1975, he appeared outside the studio where the band was mixing “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” – a song with lyrics written in tribute to him. By Pete Prown The Mosrite Standel Though labeled “Standel,” this guitar is a rare example of one built for another company by Semie Moseley’s Mosrite. By Willie G.
