| Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage Rickenbacker is in overall good cosmetic condition, with expected signs of age and wear on the glossy finish.

| Serial Number: | HC6280 |
| Tech Notes: | The guitar plays well with low action, and is currently set up with 11 gauge strings. The neck is very straight even with both truss rods fully loosened, and so lighter strings would not be recommended. The serial number dates the guitar to 1968. |
