The Rickenbacker Guarantee

Post by T-dub »

I posted over on the amp forum about an old Model 59 set we recently acquired, and found this 'hang tag' in the case. It's the Rickenbacker Guarantee for a new neck, among other things, if the original Bakelite one goes south. Not sure why it was with a Model 59 lap steel, though. Thought maybe Rick enthusiasts might enjoy seeing it. Tom

Since no time limit is stated, I wonder if it is still valid? :lol:
