MARKED DOWN TO $1125 SHIPPED TO LOWER 48 STATES Selling to make way for another guitar. Original, excellent condition, Rickenbacker Silver Hawaiian lap steel with no problems and original case. To be shipped from Moorhead, Minnesota. From Brad Bechtel: "According to Gruhn's Guide to Vintage Guitars, the Silver Hawaiian (Pre-WWII model NS, Model No. 100) was manufactured between 1937 and 1943. The version with two knobs on the same side was introduced in 1939, so yours would have been between 1939 and 1943." I purchased this off Forum member Bill Willingham two years ago .
Most of those specs in the photos are dust. The chrome is not mint but it is in excellent condition. The dark area on the fretboard is the reflection of leaves from trees above.
$1125 shipped in the lower 48 states. Foreign sales would be a bit more. The last four photos are from summer 2009. Thanks, steve t

Steve, that sure is a nice looking guitar. I have one very similar, with the white and black knobs, which I believe indicates it is a 1939. Inside there are newspapers stuffed in during manufacturing. So far I've not opened mine up to check the date on the newspaper. I'm told that people would later remove the newspapers and replace it with cotton rags to give a slightly different sound. Unfortunatey I don't have a case with mine, that one looks to be in decent condition. Good luck with that!
-Chuck

That was true with mine, an 8-stringer. I did take out the newspaper stuffing, but it was shredded into 1/4" pieces, so it was hard to read very much. I didn't see any dates, but there were some grocery adds that advertised items for pennies.

| Thanks, Chuck and Al; I appreciate the comments on the Ricki. The case is in decent shape and I believe it is the original but have no way of knowing for sure. steve t |
