The 1958 "El Toro"

Post by lionheart »

Hi Folks,

I was leafing through "The Complete History of Rickenbacker Guitars" and in the color pictures section of the book, there is a picture from a 1958 trade show for a guitar called the "El Toro".

Just wondering if anyone has any info on this guitar (was it made for a specific individual) and is it in a private collection somewhere? My apologies if the info is in this forum already, but I did a search and wasn't able to come up with anything.

I absolutely LOVE the headstock on it! Image I'd like to see custom Ricks with that as an option.
