RICKENBACKER began making the 650A ATLANTIS in 2003

Rickenbacker introduced the 650C Colorado model in 1994. The 650C has the classic Rickenbacker look but has a wider, faster playing neck than traditional Rickenbacker electrics like the 330 or 360 models. This makes the 650C a more versatile guitar that could be used for rock, blues, funk, or jazz style playing. The hardwood (walnut?) body has a sleek sculpted shape: it has the iconic Rickenbacker cresting wave but with extra contouring to make playing more comfortable. Pickups are two Rickenbacker humbuckers and output is mono only.

The Rickenbacker 650E EXCALIBER is very similar to the 650F FRISCO with the cresting wave style body. The clear high gloss finish shows the maple through-neck which had a 24 fret maple fingerboard with black dot markers.  The chrome colored hardware included a fixed bridge, 3-a-side tuners, 2 volume and 2 tone controls for the two humbuckers, a 3 position pickup-selector switch. The scratchplate is also chrome.

The first 650F FRISCO was produced by RICKENBACKER from 1991 to 2003. The Rickenbacker 650F (FRISCO) had the cresting wave style body, which in this case was made from African vermillion. The clear high gloss finish shows the maple through-neck which had a 24 fret maple fingerboard. The headstock is laminated with matching African vermilion. The gold colored hardware included a fixed bridge, 3-a-side tuners, 2 volume and 2 tone controls for the two humbuckers, a 3 position pickup-selector switch.
