Letting go of my wonderful sounding, rare Rickenbacker SW-8 lap steel from the 1950’s. The guitar is very well preserved for its age, with some bits of wear, but overall a very nice and all original example. The natural walnut finish is a sight to behold in person. The pickup sounds fantastic.


The SW-8 comes with its original hard case, which is functional but fairly worn — most notably, the right latch does not close.


If what you want is a gorgeous, understated vintage Rickenbacker lap steel, look no further. It’s a stunning and expertly crafted instrument.


This will be packed with the utmost care and shipped within 1-3 business days. Please reach out with any questions you might have. Thanks!
