Rickenbacker John Kay Promotional Poster (c. Early–Mid 1980s)

Here’s a hard-to-find piece of Rickenbacker wall art featuring Steppenwolf frontman John Kay, captured in full leather-jacket cool with his signature black Ric. Printed for in-store display during the early–mid ’80s, this original RIC promo has all the classic period styling—bold yellow logo, gritty urban backdrop, and Kay’s unmistakable look. This example shows real-life mileage: edge wear, creasing, small tears, tape marks, and a lower border split, but still displays well and has the authentic “survived a guitar shop in 1984” vibe collectors love. A great addition to any Rickenbacker, Steppenwolf, or vintage dealer ephemera collection.
