Two in 10 days. It's raining Fry Pans!
This one's in Switzerland.

This is a sunburst model. Cool pictures of the internal workings. No Rickenbacker logo anywhere on body.

It's a post-war model. One of the latest models with the bakelite fretboard overlay. Probably never had a nameplate, as the later spelling name plates would not fit the keyhead... but that's just an assumption and assumption is the mother of all f*-ups...
Great condition but...

isn't it a refinish ?
Surely they never issued any frypans in Sunburst ?

I've talked to a couple of the "ol' guys" and it seems that there must have been some weird finishes arround. Most commonly a gray-greenish finish in plain or hammer. Polished ones are also quite common. But also golden ones have been spotted and I've also heard about some kind on sunburst (but this one is the first one I actually ever saw, besides the earliest wood prototype model which had a sunburst finish too).
