Rickenbacker Silver Steel c. 1938

Few instruments can match a pre-WW2 Rickenbacker steel guitar for a striking art deco look and feel to accompany a legendary and distinctive tone, especially when pushed through an overdriven valve amp.

Complete with its original and desirable 1-1/2″ horseshoe pickup, this two-knob  late-1930s version steel has a tone as well as volume control, but retains the early ‘Rickenbacher (with an ‘H’) Electro – Los Angeles’ metal logo on the headstock.  If you are looking for an authentic steel sound also capable of strong David Lindley style lap steel tonality, go no further, this it.  And the condition is, in a word, excellent.  This particularly clean and historic Rickenbacker steel guitar comes with its original form-fit hard case (with repaired handle).
