I'm selling my beautiful vintage early 40's (1941-2?) Rickenbacher Electro, Model NS 100, Silver Hawaiian nickel-plated brass lap steel. I've based the dates on the serial number - D1659 and with the Rickenbacher register.
My Ric has always been really well looked after and is in excellent+ condition. It has a beautiful vintage tone and sustain and a big output from the 1.5" horseshoe pickup. Volume and tone controls are on the audience side, are clean and work perfectly. It has replacement Kluson style tuners which look exactly like the originals and are smooth, accurate and hold well. The decal has the original spelling - 'Rickenbacher'. The nickel plating is mirror-like with some playing wear and some light, hardly noticeable pitting. The original hard case is missing the latch and one of the hinges is broken but it still functions. I use a different case if I'm touring.
I've noticed over the last few years that really clean, vintage Ric lap steels are becoming harder and harder to find so this is a great opportunity to own a wonderful, collectable and very playable instrument in amazing condition.
US$1650 plus postage and insurance WW I have attached some pics below.

Hell, I don't look that good NOW! What a shining star of a guitar THAT is, huh?

WOW! That's a gorgeous Rick! And a fair price... for Australia. It's still more than a little costly to ship to the land down under.

Hey Mark FYI I just got a quote for delivery via Australia Post and the shipping costs would be around the US$100 mark to Nashville Tennessee. It may differ slightly with a different Tennessee zip code.

It really is a beautiful guitar....I showed it to my wife though and she blackballed the Silver Hawaiians because they reminded her of the liquid metal guy in one of the Terminator movies...  Hope you find a buyer for it!
