I'd be willing to bet that the pickguard is original on this one.   Karl Teten (Karl_teten) Senior Member Username: Karl_teten Post Number: 133 Registered: 04-2005 Posted From: 66.74.192.126 Posted on Sunday, July 03, 2005 - 06:41 pm:    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.   Mitch Berger (Octagon) Senior Member Username: Octagon Post Number: 200 Registered: 03-2005 Posted From: 24.118.136.83 Posted on Sunday, July 03, 2005 - 08:17 pm:    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?   Karl Teten (Karl_teten) Senior Member Username: Karl_teten Post Number: 136 Registered: 04-2005 Posted From: 66.74.192.126 Posted on Sunday, July 03, 2005 - 08:37 pm:    Not too high. Not low either. It's RARE! It's a fair price.   paul wilczynski (Jingle_jangle) Senior Member Username: Jingle_jangle Post Number: 2745 Registered: 12-2004 Posted From: 67.180.37.56 Posted on Monday, July 04, 2005 - 02:41 pm:    I agree with Karl. Doesn't seem out of line. I wonder what the history of this particular instrument might be...
