" this is my 1971 Rickenbacker I have owned since new, I bought it new in early 1972 and has been in my possession since, myself and brother being the primary players. Yes, it’s done it’s share of road miles but as you can see, aside from the buckle rash on the back, it’s in very good condition. Hasn’t seen a stage since 1987, mostly sat in the case, I bring it out when I need it for session work, and that stopped around 7 years ago.
I rarely play much anymore, and maybe it should go to someone who appreciates a rare and extremely distinctive instrument..
The frets have never been done, you can see by the undisturbed neck binding, frets have been dressed a few times. The neck lacquer is still really good, it was always used with light strings and a gentle touch. The binding and purfling on the body has a few small cracks but to be expected and the whole guitar has a beautiful honey patina to it now from the original blonde.
Has the high gain pickups, and all original electronics, the blend knob is a little scratchy but otherwise fine. This model has the Rickosound, or stereo out put, the second jack is wired for it.
It plays very lightly, maybe too much for some people, but a testament to how precisely the guitar can be set up.
Sounds are wonderful, I’ve played most styles on it, save metal, the body is too resonant for that.
Serial number is KD 164
