Rare & collectible Rickenbacker 5002V58 Mandolin in Mapleglo, together with silver Rickenbacker 'vintage' case and all case candy, including original Ric Warranty Card.I bought this from a collector in France who had imported it directly from a dealer in the USA. It is in absolutely mint unused condition, with no signs of use (dings, marks, etc), no visible fretwear and wonderful figuring on the walnut back and maple top. The original plush-lined Rickenbacker case is also in great shape.From the Rickenbacker website: 'First produced in 1958, this instrument remains entirely unique in its class as a double string electric instrument. Unsurpassed for clarity and brilliance, the single coil pickup crowns a charactered Maple and Walnut laminated body.'
The Serial Number is 09 05509, which dates the mando to week 5 production in 2009.I have seen very few Ric mandolins for sale on this side of the pond in the last few years - indeed, I'm not even sure that the Rickenbacker have produced many 5002V58 mandolins recently - so this is one very cool and rare Rickenbacker.Never mind if you do not envisage playing it regularly. Quite simply, this Mandolin should be owned and cherished as an example of instrument-making of the highest quality and as an essential addition to any Rickenbacker enthusiast's collection.
