This is a once-in-a-lifetime find: a true piece of history. It is one of the very first electric mandolins made by Rickenbacher, before the company Americanized its name with a “k,” as you can see on the small metal...

very rare, Charley Christain pickup, some checking, OHSC has a hole from the pickguard burn, overall nice

finish is yellowed, very nice overall, getting hard to find with pickguard and OHSC

snakehead, truss rod, some finish wear, but a good mandolin from the right period, the hardcase is modern.
