I went web surfing this morning looking for some pictures of a few specific Rickenbacker models. I came across an archive of photos made by Nigel Osbourne, a photographer in the UK, that is hosted by the Getty Images company. They sell images.

Here are a few links:

I see that Guitar World has used a bunch of his photos.
