Mitch: This has already been posted on another thread..was it you who posted it?

I'd be willing to bet that the pickguard is original on this one.

Looks original to me.

The Cresent Bronze Powder has oxidized around the guard screw holes.

Classic guard cracks from the unpadded 50's Capri case lid.

Yeah I posted it on the "Rickenbackers for Sale" section.I don't want to buy it but I was just curious as to whether that is a good price for this guitar?

Not too high.

Not low either.

It's RARE!

It's a fair price.

I agree with Karl. Doesn't seem out of line. I wonder what the history of this particular instrument might be...
