A genuine piece of electric guitar history — this Rickenbacker Electro NS-6 lap steel comes from the golden age of the company that helped pioneer the electric guitar. Rickenbacker's Electro line was among the first commercially successful electric instruments, and the NS-6 carries forward that legacy with its horseshoe-style pickup design and solid, straightforward construction built for tone and durability.

This lap steel features the classic Bakelite/finish body typical of the era, a warm and characteristically punchy single-coil tone, and the kind of vintage mojo that only decades of playing history can provide. A wonderful option for collectors, vintage tone enthusiasts, Hawaiian/country steel players, or anyone looking to add an authentic piece of 1940s electric guitar history to their collection.

Condition: Very Good

This instrument shows honest, well-cared-for wear consistent with its age:

• A visible repair along the bottom edge — solid and stable, noted here for full transparency
• A few small cosmetic flaws in the finish (minor nicks/wear) consistent with decades of use and storage
• Otherwise presents and plays very well for its age

As with any vintage instrument nearing a century old, some character marks are part of its story. Please review photos closely and feel free to reach out with any questions about condition, playability, or electronics before purchasing.
