Description Brand: Rickenbacker Type: Electric
Rare 7 string Bakelite Rickenbacker; early 50's, beautiful tone, appears all original with case. Condition is excellent, with a few minor issues; one tuner is bent slightly, not enough to interfere with tuning. A few tiny chips in the white paint, and some additional chipping of black paint on the removable headstock cover. The case is intact but showing major signs of wear. Looks like it may have gotten wet on one end, the covering is peeled up and the plywood is coming unglued at the corner. Interior of case looks good, also latches work fine. Please see photos. One of the control knobs has been repaired where the plastic was chipped away. Pots work smoothly with no noise. Pickup has that wonderful these guitars are famous for. Serial number stamped (twice) into end of headstock is 698 or 869. Also feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for looking and bid with confidence!
