1971 Rickenbacker 450

This vintage 1971 Rickenbacker 450, a classic solid-body electric guitar that delivers the unmistakable chime and clarity Rickenbacker is known for. With its sleek, minimalist design and iconic cresting wave body, the 450 offers exceptional playability and vintage mojo. This model features dual single-coil pickups and a bolt-on neck and Rickenbacker's unique bridge design. 

The frets on this guitar are all original and show wear and divoting particularly at the first, second, and third frets. Given this, the guitar plays well but does have some fret buzz throughout. If requested a buyer can seek the option to the get the guitar plek'd or refreted to achieve maximal playability. The body shows wear throughout, consistent with its age notably around the lower bout along with finish checking. The original Kluson Deluxe tuners have also been replaced with Grover tuner at some point in the guitar's lifetime. 

The original hard shell case for this guitar is included
