It's been stated before, but possibly worth mentioning once again.....
Persons desiring a Rickenbacher Bakelite steel guitar can search, sometimes for years, before they can find a 'good' one that's for sale.
Just got off of eBay where today, one can find over a dozen Bakelites and metal body guitars that are available. Some are inoperative and others need extensive refurbishing. Prices range from $200 to more than $2,700.
How 'bout that? Something for everybody........ |

| Ray Do folks still take those covers off and fill the guitar up with concrete? |

Well my friend.......I've heard they've filled them with sand, concrete, and a wide assortment of other unimaginable crappola. Thus far, I've been lucky and never encountered such a travisty.
I'm pretty much convinced that the more folks that are getting into the world of steel guitar.....
the more we can expect similar happenings. |

It seems as though there have been quite a few Ricks on Ebay for the last few weeks. Many go unsold at prices that I would consider relatively low.
Are there really that many of these floating around? I'd love a B10, but those seem to be priced out of my range. I assume that would be due to rarity. |
