All original, except for tuners. Installed by professional luthier and work great. One is slightly bent but works fine. Original case with spelling of Rickenbacker. Getting out of the slide part of my life and thinning the herd....$750. Shipping depending on where you live. Serial number starts with a C.

Vince,
I have this same model. I believe 1938 is the year.
Either way I have owned a number of lap steels and by far IMHO, it has a truly unique and quality sound unlike the others I have owned.
Good luck on your sale! |

 Why is the name on the guitar spelled'RICKENBACHER' and the ribbon on the case spelled 'RICKENBACKER'?? Are they both original but different years? |

Wally - It's my understanding that the reason for the change was the anti-german sentiment going around at the start of WWII.
For instance, a "hamburger" became a "salisbury steak".
Changing to "Rickenbacker" also associated with an american war hero, Eddie Rickenbacker.
Thats what I've been led to believe anyhow.
I'm drooling over this guitar by the way.

 I know all about the change in spelling and the WWII connection but my question was,-"Why the difference in the spelling on the case and the spelling on the guitar"? Evidently the case shown and the guitar shown did not go together. The case must have been made later than the guitar. Right?

Wally,
I believe you're right. The early bakelite guitars came with a very cheap looking chip-board case. I know, I discarded mine for a case just like the one offered with this very fine guitar. |

| I told Vince I would take the guitar and sent him certified funds for the purchase price plus shipping last week. He was going to deposit the check tomorrow. The check is good, so I'm assuming this is a done deal. |
