Extremely nice Melobar Rattler 6 string lap, copper metallic, original rare Paul Barth pickup, tone and volume contols, really nice completely intact finish, just a couple of tiny scuffs, intact mint condition matching soft brown pad on back (these are usually missing or damaged). Fine strong tone. Looks Sharp! $395 and shipping to FoBros.

I have one just like it. The pickup is a winner.
Mine was made in the early 70's according to the pot codes. |

For those who do not know the significance of the Paul Barth pickup, here's a little history;
While there are many different types of pickups available today, the passive magnetic pickup is undeniably the industry mainstay. They are the driving force in everything from jazz, to rock, to NUmetal (uggh). The first known magnetic pickup was created by George Beauchamp and Paul Barth in 1931 for Rickenbacker, and was used in an aluminum guitar! It operated on a very simple principle, induction. Cutting through the finery, you take a magnet (or magnets) and wrap it thousands of times over with a thin copper wire. The strings of the guitar (made from a magnetic alloy) move and vibrate inside of the magnet’s field creating electric current in the wire at the same frequency as the vibrating strings. This signal is fed to your amp, and hey! |
