This was a very enlightening topic for me to start my day (sips coffee). Now, I’m wondering if I’ve been pronouncing the name of my ESP LTD correctly.

Rickenbacker is often pronounced wrong by some
Ricken-bach-er is wrong.
Ricken-back-er is correct, just like its spelled.

“Oh yes! Cause like I’m a bit of a perfectionist, actually. Yes, I am. See, for me it’s got to be the best or is nothing at all. Like, things get a bit dodgy I just cannot be bothered. But here I’ve got good vibes about this interview thing today, mate.”
