Not only is this a lovely example of a vintage Rick, it's also a clear example of what's called 'ambering' or 'goldening', an effect that happens over time due to the type. of clearcoat that Rickenbacker was using at this period of time. Turning the Mapleglo a gorgeous honey​/​golden colour. Consistent all over the body and headstock, this beautiful guitar is in great condition for its age, there have been minor signs of play wear on the body but otherwise pristine! It jangles and chimes in typical Rickenbacker fashion and plays like a dream. With non-original case and our three year set up and servicing warranty included in the price!
