Description: Rickenbacher, Rickenbaker model 59 steel guitar. Guitar is made out of steel with factory sunburst over silver finish. Has a horseshoe pickup and everything is working with the pickup. When I got the guitar I was told this was a pre war model and it has serial number E3144. Original finish is on the guitar. There is also a strap button on body near the pickup not pictured. Guitar is in great playing condition currently has a strings on for C6 tuning. The pickup is the original and everything on the guitar except for some tuning buttons that were replaced is all original. This guitar has the original finish on it and has scrapes and steel pick wear on finish near high frets. The guitar works well plugged in and has great sound, the sound is very clean its not over driven which is preferable for steel. The volume knob and tone done seem to do much I dont think they work but they still turn. The case is included and is not original, case handle is starting to come lose might need some attention. The nut on both ends has some chips but it still works under tension and is fine.
