Jane Wiedlin used the Rickenbacker 420 as her first guitar with the Go-Go's, and it was likely employed in recording their album Beauty and the Beat. According to the source "The Go-Go’s: 1980-1985" by youremyguitarhero, early photos of the band showcase the guitar in its original configuration. By their appearance in "Urgh! A Music War!" in 1980, Wiedlin had modified the guitar by adding a pair of P-90 pickups alongside the original toaster pickup.
