Rickenbacker's have a cult following, and this is a model worth gravitating to. Its aesthetics are extremely reminiscent of the 60s music made on them, think John Lennon and CCR. The beautifully cut body also has a midcentury look to it; soft, yet sleek contoured lines. This example was oversprayed, but it would take a keen eye to spot it as the checking is still present. All this being said, it was refretted and plays and sounds just as good as it would look hanging on a wall of a naturally lit ranch-style home. It additionally has had the following list of repairs : light full-body clear overspray, refinished fretboard, 1" dowel in back of body near neck pocket, black touchup around chipout; replaced pots, switch, and jack.Comes with original hardshell case.
