my 1936 rickenbaker....the guitar version not lapsteel made of bakerlite one of the 1st production electric guitars sounds fantastic for slide! ry cooder uses one also!  link here to ry uses his on vigalante man

Xsmnmy

amazing! not many of these on this side of the pond (or anywhere really).

@smnmy agree'd when i saw it for £300 i had to buy it! 

ICBM

Wow! I'm either very wrong, or that's an incredible bargain. I thought they were worth a *lot* more than that.

For most practical purposes these are the very first proper solid electric guitar.

i think its a bargain its great for slide....not much else but what a sound! ill try and add a video.

Sounds like a great bargain. It must be one of the very first Rickenbacker horseshoe pickups,  I'm sure a museum would love to have it. Is it all bakelite, neck and body? 

jamesoliver1234

@JezWynd bakerlite body and wooden neck...and yes its the horseshoe pickup

WezV

That is a crazy price.  Don't do the naughty thing and part it out.... even though you would get more than that for the pickup alone

Sassafras

BLIMEY!
That's an amazing price for such an historically significant instrument.

Only this year?
To me, it would be the best find of the century (last one included).

This is just fantastic. I love that little thing. You're a lucky bloke.

Corvus

Cool as anything, well scored!

streethawk

Fantastic find!

Was wondering how much it would be worth to you for a bit of ry cooder but blummin hell; what a bargain.

Edit: someone was asking 1200 for one on here. Sounds about right.

Evilmags

Wow. Shocked at that price 

sawyer

Wow! Well done! Gotta be worth way more that that.

jamesoliver1234

Wisdom for using it. I'll quote my mate Yannis "now play the shit out of it".

jamesoliver1234
