Another great Classi Guitars card.. This one shows The Rickenbacker Electro- Spanish 1935. This guitar was built by The Electro String Instrument corporation.of Los Angeles California.and is in a private collection.
This rare little instrument is a cousin of The Electric Hawaiian lap style guitars and was one of the first electric guitars offered commercially on the market. Hawaiian music was extremely popular throughout the 1930's.Hawaiian guitars were featured on many country and pop records of the period This three quarter sized electric guitar was made to be played conventionally and was used briefly by a few pioneering guitarists including Eldon Shamblin of Bob Wills Texas Playboys.
