Rittenberry SD-10, from 2012, in excellent condition. I"m the original owner, purchased direct from Gary Rittenberry. Telonics pickup, and everything is in wonderful playing condition, with a recent full tune-up from John Widgren. Standard Emmons setup, with a feel stop on the 2nd string. Ask me a ? if you want more details on the copedent. Note - the pics are a little dark. The color is a rich shade of blue.

This guitar has seriously great tone. I'm selling this reluctantly to fund another purchase. For these seven years, the Ritt has spent most of the time in my non-smoking house, treated with TLC. The custom Thomas case is in like new condition, with the exception of one of the latches got a little water on it and is very slightly rusted. Otherwise, I've used the case only a few times.

$2500, plus shipping. These well made guitars from Gary Rittenberry don't come up for sale very often, and he has a pretty extensive wait time on new ones these days.

Well, maybe I underpriced this, but I already have one very interested person. I'll respond to other questions once we figure out if this purchase will happen.

Yes - left knee raises and lowers the E's. I'd be shipping from Northampton MA, 01060.

Just wanted to say I sold a JCH SD-10 with added Compensators on all 7 Lowers, and New pickup for $2750.00. So the price for this axe is what I would call, not low at all. Also sold Franklin D-10 and 2 Emmons D-10, and bought 3- Emmons D-10, on the Forum since my member ship in 1998. It's all about shipping these days

Reply with quote

I was asked about the knee levers - here's the info:

RKL - raises string 1 from F# to G3, and lowers string 6 from G# to F#

RKR lowers string 9 from D to C#, and string 2 lowers D# to D (first feel stop) and then to C# (fully moved to right).

Left knee levers -

LKL raises strings 4 and 8 from E to F

LKR lowers same strings from E to Eb

Woefully underpriced. These instruments are resonant and precise. The closest in tone to a Franklin.
