Yes,the Combo 800 that I sold in Nov.,last year must have been yours as the serial# was the same, and the case did have the tin logo emblem from the music store,Ray

Right you are on all fronts---this was my Combo 800---I bought it from Route 66 Guitars in Cal.in 1991---everyone that I showed it to simply loved it---all my well known guitar dealer friends said that it was refinished sometime in the late '60,s or early '70,s--I don't know where it was refinished ...

I got my final asking price of $4,500.00,which was the lowest price that I would accept ,as I also stated in my ebay description if it did not sell I would have kept this guitar in my collection----it took me 14 months before this guitar sold---unfortunately,I think that the buyer buys items on ebay ...

I finally sold this Combo 800 about 6 weeks ago--while I will certainly miss it ,I just did not play enough to warrant keeping it--I think the buyer really got a good deal----Long Live the Combo 800 and 850's---they are really rare, great sounding,playing and much under rated guitars

thanks to all for the info.on the craigslist scams--i will flag the ad as prohibited,---this is all new to me---i had heard only bad things regarding craigs list--i can see why!!!

sorry for the caps,my eyesight is not what it use to be----fretboard was like this when i bought it over 20 years-ago--i've seen 4 other rics with similar fretboards in the last 20 years---could be all replacement fretboards---i just don't know----my main thing is vintage amps--thanks for the info ...

I'M PRETTY NEW TO THIS FORUM--ANYWAY--I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SELL THIS GUITAR FOR THE PAST 11 MONTHS ON EBAY ----THE PROBLEM THAT I JUST RAN INTO TODAY ( ALSO MAY HAVE HAPPENED IN THE PAST ) IS THAT I GOOGLED 1957 RICKENBACKER COMBO 800 GUITAR ,AND ON THE 2ND PAGE LISTING WAS MY EXACT AD ON THE LONDON ...
