Rickenbacker Combo 600 1957, Blonde

One of the rarest guitars to come through the shop, a Rickenbacker Combo 600. It has one of coolest designs, but as far as music history goes, it would be hard to call it iconic. So few were made that the musicians of the day wouldn't have had the opportunity to get their hands on one; this 66 year old model's first rockstar awaits its discovery! It's all original, minus some back plate screws. The pickup is from a lap steel, the body is solid birch and limed with a blonde finish (like furniture), and the backplate and pickguard are handcut with scissors from the factory. All that being said, the nitro lacquer has checking like a Fender and the wood choices make it blackguard-esque. Comes with a non-original hardshell case.
