1966 Rickenbacker 335-6 Fireglow Red Sunburst, Near Mint, Original Hard, $4,500.00
Rickenbackers six strings have always been one of the best-kept secrets of the vintage guitar world in direct contrast to their renown 12 strings which have become legendary. This perfect Rikenbacker 335-6 not only looks gorgeous but also is truly a great guitar in that it sounds and plays as good as it looks. The smaller neck feels very comfortable it plays very easily with low action; strings are surprisingly easy to bend even with the 11-48 gauge strings recently installed. Fantastic near mint glossy example in beautiful Fireglow with original Accent Vibrola has no modifications or repairs. Original D’Armond toaster top pickups are loud efficient and off course always sound wonderful. All hardware is original super clean and functional, the electronics are factory original not a solder joint touched. Cosmetically near perfect no playing wear evident whatsoever, perfectly straight neck with two working truss rods. A no issue all original piece some would describe as mint if not for a very small area of light pressure marks on the back, small area and not deep, hard to see, almost impossible to photograph. This is as good an example of this guitar that money can buy. We highly recommended buying instruments in this realm of quality, as the investment yield is always greater when buying rare models in perfect condition. There is no better place to put your money than in this fine piece. Consider this near mint July of 1966 Rickenbacker 335-6 semi hollow body six string electric in Fireglow serial number FG 2354 with original silver with blue interior hard shell case.

If an item doesn’t allow a lower offer it’s because it’s already been discounted and already at its lowest price.

I might point out that all of our guitars come with professional detailing and set up, this has real value and keeps one from getting inferior work from an unqualified retail establishment.
