An Extremely Rare 1967 Rickenbacker 'Export' Model 1998.

This super rare 'Export' only model 14 3/4-inch-wide full-sized thin-body (1 1/2 inches deep) guitar weighs just 7.30 lbs. and has a nut width of 1 5/8 inches and a scale length of 24 3/4 inches. This guitar features offset cutaways, with pointed horns providing a "sweeping crescent" profile across both. Maple body, with a single "f" soundhole, three-piece maple neck with a medium to thin profile, and rosewood fretboard with 21 frets and white dot position markers. Three Rickenbacker chrome bar "toaster" pickups with outputs of 3.93k, 2.72k and 7.69k (that's how the Ricky three-pickup models measure). Five controls (two volume, two tone, and one blend control) plus three-way pickup selector switch, all on lower level of pickguard. Rickenbacker bridge and separate Rickenbacker vibrato tailpiece. This guitar is in exceptionally fine (9.00) condition, with minimal belt buckle scarring on the back (nothing through the finish) and a few tiny wear marks on the edges. The 'Fireglo' color is deep and rich and shows no signs of fading. The original frets show only a very light amount of wear. Original Rickenbacker silver hardshell case with blue plush lining (8.75).
