I found it at a local music store, sandwiched between a bunch of guitar cases. I cannot find a serial number on it…
What do you say Johnny...

Looks like the real deal. It's either a Rick 900 or an Electro ES-16. Looks very similar to my '64 ES-16, with the neck thru construction. The bottom horn is curved on the front edge whereas mine is straight. There were many variations on this body style. Groovy!

Looks like a made by Rickenbacker Electro. It is basically a model 425.

The serial number is on the bridge plate, but I can't read it.

Do you know where I can get a bridge for it???

Ted: A 425 would be full-scale. This is 3/4-scale.

The bridge is the same as a 400-series guitar. I bought a replacement bridge assembly back in 1980. It came with a new compensated bridge and a chrome bridge support.

It's worth more than that if you break it for parts

Cool! That's the body in between the full tulip & the cresting wave. Pretty rare I imagine!
Good find Dave!
