Check this out and draw your own conclusions. I think, given the alteration, he's asking $6000 too much, which means he's either delusional or on drugs.

Why can't he be both?

This has been up for quite a while.

It doesn't surprise me that it's been up for a long time. The seller is is "ambitious."

And with the non-original Pickup in the Neck, (and the body wood likely cut to adapt the humbucker), he is not likely to get the price he is seeking.

Isn't there some "suggestion" posted some where, that I will not take a power tool to a Vintage Rickenbacker …..

"Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained"

I couldn't resist sending the seller a carefully worded email advising him that his price was way too high, that untouched examples don't fetch $7500 and that I had no selfish interest in the guitar. I wished him luck selling it at a reasonable price. No reply. I'm sure he's heard from others. In the end, it's his guitar and if he wants to be stupid about it, that's his God-given right top do so.

Probably the classic case of his spouse want it gone and he says that he's been trying to sell it, but no bites, yet.
