Interesting Ricky 8,10,8

This thing is for sale locally, it's far too much guitar for me but I thought to share it here, I've never seen another and I'm assuming it was a custom order.

Model 518, mid '50s.

Nice old ad. It's interesting that the 10 string pickup is the 1 1/2" magnet horseshoe.

I bet that justs a plastic horse shoe covering up the pickup on the 10 string neck. Like the JB frypan model that Shobud made

The plastic arm rests were one piece; here you can see a gap in the middle, indicating that the pickup has real horseshoe magnets.

It's also got no adjuster knobs like my old B

If I get a chance I'll go see it and maybe take some pictures.

I’ve remagged a set of three like this years ago … the 10 string horseshoe was a NOS prewar B10 set of magnets … longer than a normal set of prewar 1.5’s …

Interesting.
