Rickenbacker 230GF Glenn Frey Limited Edition Guitar (Gloss Black, 1 of 239)
$ 2,399.00
The Rickenbacker 230GF Glenn Frey Limited Edition is a rare piece of rock history, born from a collaboration between Rickenbacker and the Eagles' legendary founding member. Originally slated for a production run of 1,000 units in the early 1990s, only 239 of these exclusive instruments were ever completed. Based on the 200 series solid-body design, this model departs from traditional Rickenbacker aesthetics with its sleek Jetglo finish, asymmetrical headstock, and custom chrome pickguard bearing Frey's signature.
Sonically, the 230GF delivers a heavier, more aggressive punch than standard Rickenbackers, thanks to its dual high-output humbucking pickups. It features a solid maple double-cutaway body paired with a bolt-on maple neck and a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard. Whether you are an avid Eagles collector or a player seeking a distinctive solid-body with serious output, this limited edition model offers uncompromising tone and unparalleled rarity.
