Vintage 1950's Rickenbacker Electro SD-6 Metal Body Lap Steel Electric Guitar w/ Softshell Case!

Up for sale is this vintage 1950's Rickenbacker SD-6 lap steel electric guitar.

It is all original with the exception of the slightly later single-line Kluson strip tuning keys and a hole in the body below the tailpiece where a strap button was once located. The instrument does show some wear including some minor dings and scuffs as well as some minor pitting to the original metal parts. Of course, as always, the original plastic fretboard is lifting in a few places as is typical with these instruments. Overall, with a few slight exceptions, it's a pretty well-preserved example of a cool, not-often-seen model.

This one has just been gone over by our tech who cleaned it up, sprayed out the electronics, and installed a fresh set of strings. The original horseshoe pickup sounds great and the metal body really helps to get that classic, electric "resonator" tone.

A period-correct and possibly original softshell case is included. The case is in fair condition and is complete, but one of the back hinges has torn loose. The instrument will be well-packed inside and out to ensure safe shipping.
