Sweet Mid-1940's (1945-49) Rickenbacher Double 6 lap steel (Electro D-12 was the model name/#, I believe). Pretty sure Jocaquin Murphy played one of these for a while. It's pre-50's because the "H" is still in the spelling of "Rickenbacher."
These are pretty rare guitars. Don't see many come up for sale.
Recently been fully serviced, including a rebuilt tone control and new cap (vintage style paper in oil to match original tone). Otherwise all original. Bakelite necks and aluminum body w/ strong horseshoe pickups on both necks.
Super clean, apart from a slight bend on the 4th string, outside neck tuner (tunes just fine; all tuners are smooth, btw). Also a crack on the inside neck, just above the 12th fret (perfectly/expertly repaired by Jim Palenscar of North County Steel Guitars--guaranteed to be 100% structurally sound or your $$ back!).
Plays as good as new and sounds fantastic.
Original Gelb case in fantastic condition.
$649 + actual shipping.
All reasonable offers considered, thanks!
