Model 4005V

Perhaps the most anticipated re-issue in Rickenbacker history. The 4005V is inspired by the iconic 4005 semi-acoustic body introduced in 1965. The updated version of this classic boasts two vintage pickups, crushed pearl inlays, and checkered binding. It also includes Rickenbacker’s new single dual-action truss rod. Built with the same slimmed down neck profile of the 4003 and an X braced semi-acoustic body. This provides the same deep warm tone as its 60’s predecessor.
