    Rickenbacker1969 Double-8 208 Console Steel Double Neck Guitar
    This guitar was
    rescued from
    a pawn shop last year, long-neglected and likely not having been played in decades.
    Having acquired it, I did a full restoration of the instrument to bringit back to its former glory.
    The instrument was fully disassembled, all wooden parts were reglued and rebraced, new switchesadded, new wiring harness created, pickup plates rechromed, tuner assemblies repaired and the entire guitar thoroughly cleaned.
    Mono output, single tone and single volume for both necks, but on/off selectors for each neck.
    She sounds amazing, looks fantastic with hints of birds-eye in the maple, and is fully-restored structurally.
    Consoles in this condition are not easily found!
    Currently tuned to C4 and E9.
    Comes with its original, road-worn case.
    Interior looks great but does have a very old scent to it.
    Could benefit from a cleaning.
    Instrument
    is sold “used” and as-is, and all sales are final.
    Purchaser pays flat-rate shipping to Con-US fully-insured via UPS.
    No returns will be accepted except in the case of shipping damage, so please study all pictures and ask all questions BEFORE bidding. Winning bidder must adhere to all eBay regulations.
