He was offered the patent by the inventor of the first electrically amplified guitar, George Beauchamp, who was the general manager of his own instrument development company. Adolph Rickenbacker, in league with another company, didn't start production until the late summer of 1932 and changed the company name to Rickenbacker in 1934 when his company was the first to manufacture and sell to the public.

What is a guitar that's simliar as a 325 rickenbacker?

There is the Rickenbacker 350, which is the full neck version of the 325. It is a little bit less expensive, and is being sold for around $2,000-$2,500 for a new one. Also there are a bunch of brands that make "copy" guitars. If you do some creative ebay searching, such as "lennon" "ric style" "ricky" "beatles" once in a while you will come across one. They are much cheaper than a real rickenbacker, (like $300-$500) and some are as good as a real rickenbacker. But there are some differences between a copy and a real rickenbacker, such as a different fretboard color and a different style of tailpiece.
