| Looks right to me. Asking price is silly but it looks like a Rus-Ler. Sho-Bud fretboard. Small mistake by someone who doesn't know. Deluxe as an adjective, not as a model name. |

Looking at the pics, it appears to be a loafer. You can see the cavity where a pickup went for the back neck, and the changer side shows the opening for adjustment access on the back.

I wonder if all D body Rus-lers have the changer cavity whether there’s a back neck or not because mine has that as well…however the plug/patch is metal rather than that, what appears to be, white plastic. |

| To clarify -- my only observation is that it seems like a legit Rus-Ler. I don't know nearly enough to have an opinion about whether it is a converted double neck. |

I think they have the original Rus-Ler board to go with the guitar. I think one of the pictures shows it torn and laying on top of the strings. |

Yes, that is an Single-Double 12 Rus-Ler. Probably a universal tuning.
However, the price is a little ridiculous.
The one in my picture is mine, bought new in 1976. I still have it and it still plays great. |

Where do they come up with these prices? Worth half that or less.

Agreed, I would think the value is somewhere around $2200, but I live in Ohio. Everything in California seems to cost more... |
