1950s Rickenbacker B6 Lap Steel Electric Guitar

It's a classic! It's hard to argue with the tone and presence of a Rickenbacker horseshoe pickup mounted in a bakelite steel. It's sing-song, raise the roof sort of stuff and has peaks in the upper-mids that are just lovely.

This one's in excellent shape, ready to go, and features the cool "panda" scheme -- white "face" plates on the black body. This one has an integrated tailpiece plus "floating" bridge style rather than the "termination" style tailpiece/pickup plate found on the earlier models.

Those knobs, too...? Oh man!

I didn't restring it for the video so tuned it up to "open A" like bluegrass G tuning but up a full step -- that suited the strings on it at the moment.

Repairs included: a quick setup/adjustments.
