Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

i just made a post in appraisals and it was suggested i make the post here in this section. since there is more frequent visitors here that might know more of this instrument.

uncle passed away age 94 and left this Rickenbacker model 100 Silver Hawaiian G Deluxe. its in great condition, the case is not to good. does anyone know the value of this instrument? we are getting ready to sell all his belongings.

appraisals?
Do you have 2 Rick lap steels or one?
Rick produced 2 models AKA Silver Hawaiian.
The Model 100 was pre WW2.
The Model G was made after WW2.

I just found the appraisal section. Must be something new or at least new to me.
Post lots of photos and I'll try to help. Keep in mind that the lap steel market is pretty soft given the current situation.
If you want to sell it, this isn't a great time, and while the Silver Hawaiian models are great looking, neither is considered as good as other Rick lap steels from either a players or collectors perspective, unless it's in absolutely pristine condition.
