Near-mint and all-original Rickenbacker 480 from 1974. The case even has the sticker from the store it was originally purchased from and the guitar clearly hasn't spent much time out of it in 49 years. Sounds absolutely incredible with strong, clear pickups that can give your amp and pedals a good push.

As you'd expect, everything is working perfectly- neck is straight with near-new frets and fully operational truss rods, 24 frets and 25" scale. No cracks, repairs or electrical issues. The case is essentially new and all 3 latches work.


Happy to discuss shipping options to your area.
