The Steel Guitar Forum

Can any one give me some info on a Rickenbacker Jerry Byrd 10 string console guitar. I have one that is in very good shape overall except the 2 outside strings are weak for some reason. Need a value to decide if it's worth selling also. I can send pictures if interested. Email elvissteel1@frontier.com

Why not post here on the SGF, photo's of said guitar?

We'd all like to see what you're talking about.

You could also do a bit or searching around this forum using the search function. I don't think it's as "common" a sale as the Fenders or even the Gibson Console Grandes, but that means a search will isolate them even better. You might try just these words too: "Rickenbacker 10 string console guitar" . I believe the 10-strings are pretty rare.

Ebay has a feature of showing "completed sales" also, which is clickable down the left side. However, Like Ray said, - post some pictures here - and it will come to the attention of the type of people who buy that type of stuff.

Here are some photos of the guitar in question.

Would that guitar be a short or long scale.

I recently acquired a beautiful double-8 neck of this same model, in the long scale, that matched my single-8 of like model.

That is a pretty guitar.

According to Gruhn's Guide to Vintage Guitars, the Jerry Byrd models were short scale (22.5" scale length) guitars, available with 6, 7, 8 or 10 strings. This would be one of the rarest models - I haven't seen any other ten string Jerry Byrd models prior to this.
