This is an excellent players grade 50's Rickenbacker! Kyle of Philadelphia Fretworks just finished a complete refret and it is all setup and ready to go. All the hardware including pickups are from the 90's but the wood and finish are original. It's got a great feeling neck and the thick rosewood board has lots of patina while still retaining some of the original finish.  The toaster pickups are very versatile. The bridge pickup does the classic bright, jangly Rick sound well and the neck pickup is jazzy and warm. It even comes in the original hardshell case which is worth quite a bit on its own! Overall this is a great solidbody 50's Rick for someone to take on the road and not worry too much about.
