Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

....by the way Scott, when I say in "nice condition", as Collin indicated, that means original condition. The finish on your Rick looks just fine to me for an honest used '60's guitar - you should not even consider getting it refinished as you will destroy significant value in the process.

BTW Collin, I'd love to know where all these RoMo '60's 6 strings are in dealer stock that are not shifting at $6k...I certainly havent seen any...if you know of some on the market right now for that price, please let me know!

DO-NOT-REFINISH!!

They must have shifted!

There obviously isn't tons of examples, but one that sticks out was a worn but solid '64 1997 that Gary's guitars sold last year after having it listed for ages (even over a year) at $6800. Not sure what it really sold for, but people weren't scrambling to buy at 6.8k, even in a better market than today.

Typically dealer prices are 20% higher than street prices, though some dealers are in denial about street prices!

Scott:

Thanks for the pictures! Much appreciated... I will add them to the Register.

Echoing what everyone else is saying - don't be too concerned about the fact the guitar is a little dinged by use.

I am willing to bet that the guitar is worth more then you thought it was!

Thanks all for your input.

That is an awesome guitar.

Thats a great looking guitar I love the look of the import ones.
