Description

From one of the first years of this model's production, this 1959 450 is an early example of the iconic brand and rock n' roll culture Rickenbacker would pioneer in the decades to come. The single toaster top pickup provides a full range of bass to treble with its control knob. A metal Rickenbacker logo plate adorns the headstock, furthering the rareness and collectibility of this piece. Cosmetically it's sustained some player wear over the years, but still retains all its original components.

Includes OHSC with one latch broken.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
