Stamped metal guitar body and amp case, no on\/off switch, volume only on the guitar, and a built-in heavy duty cable permanently attached to the amp chassis. Just plug in and go! The guitar is of course usable (and with the early horseshoe pickup great-sounding) with any amp, but we think this swingin' set is perfect Hawaiian guitar bliss on a budget!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 29 3\/4 in. (75.6 cm.), 9 1\/4 in. (23.5 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 7\/8 in. (4.8 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 22 1\/2 in. (572 mm.). Width of nut is 2 in. (51 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is some wear to the paint finish on both amp and guitar (more on the amp), but this is overall a nicely preserved set. Amp handle replaced -- otherwise, all original. Sounds great! Generally Excellent Condition.","brand":"Rickenbacker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853331714188,"sku":"4608","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_3e3341f9-f8ab-4ca5-8ee6-d7d4b5d0e61e.jpg?v=1774334743","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/rickenbacker-model-59-lap-steel-electric-with-matching-amplifier-guitar-1938-4608","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
