Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

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's a hint of what's to come for me:
