Hello,

I have a real nice Rickenbacker 518 for sale. The guitar is in excellent shape. It has a few bar marks on it but nothing major. All the electronics work great and it's a great sounding steel. The legs work and lock just fine. The guitar also has a nice working Stringtone on it. Though the picture shows the guitar without strings, it is in fact all strung up and ready to go for the next owner.

Included:
1. Steel Guitar
2. OHSC
3. Vinyl Cover from Nashville Covers

I am looking for $900


Please let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to answer them.

Hello Victor,
Of the two guitars your selling, do they have cases?
How much do they weigh in and out of the cases, if they have cases?
Thanks,
Andy Very Happy

Hi Andy,

Both guitars come with their original hard cases.

I have had to consult my arch-nemesis the bathroom scale as it is my only weighing option.


Triple Neck:

Steel + Legs = Roughly 38lbs
Steel + Legs + Case + 47 lbs

Double Neck:

Steel + Legs = 26lbs
Steel + Legs + Case = 34 lbs

Hi Bill,

Yes. I cleaned out the slots real well and put a new set of strings on it and there is no buzz that I can tell. Thanks!
