Rickenbacker Jerry Byrd Model 8-String Model High Steel Electric Guitar (1969), made in Los Angeles, California, natural lacquer finish, walnut body, original black hard shell case.
A particularly striking (and great-sounding) Rickenbacker steel guitar; not your average-looking 1960's console! This late Jerry Byrd Model 8-string has a beautifully grained walnut slab body with contrasting padauk end caps and a front edge faced with woven Transonic amp grill cloth. Equipped with Rickenbacker's late 60's faux-horseshoe pickup and a 3-knob control circuit. This guitar really looks like playable Las Vegas lounge furniture and is the perfect instrument for Exotica sounds and Tiki d�cor.
Overall length is 32 in. (81.3 cm.), 9 1/2 in. (24.1 cm.) width, and 3 in. (7.6 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 22 1/2 in. (572 mm.). Width of nut is 2 1/2 in. (64 mm.).
Amazingly clean and absolutely original. Near Mint Condition.
