Rickenbacher Electro Model B Electric Spanish Guitar Black, 1936

On July 19, 2021 /

The Rickenbacher Electro Model B ES was not the first electric guitar, as it’s based on a Hawaiian version, but it is one of the very first Electric Spanish guitars produced for retail sale. Introduced in 1935, the Model B Electic Spanish is based on the Model B Lap or Hawaiian model introduced in 1931. At the time the Rickenbacher Electro Model B was launched, the only other Electric Spanish model in production was also a Rickenbacker product – the 1935 Ken Roberts model.

❌SOLD❌ Rickenbacher Electro B6 ‘Panda’ Bakelite Lap Steel Guitar, c. 1945

On December 7, 2020 /

The Rickenbacher Electro B6 ‘Panda’ Bakelite body and neck Lap Steel was built from 1935 to 1955 and demonstrated a number of changes over the years including a change in the company name to Rickenbacker. Here we’re looking at a Rickenbacher Electro B6 ‘Panda’ bakelite lap steel, dating to around 1945. As this example seems to not have a serial number (normally stamped on the end of the headstock) dating is established via construction and features. There were three periods of production for these models, prewar, wartime, and postwar. However, there is some overlap in these periods as parts were used up.

❌SOLD❌ Dobro Model 27 or 25 Sunburst, 1934

On March 18, 2020 /

The Dobro Model 27 and 25 were for a time one of Dobro’s most popular models, though it’s hard to tell which model is which – the designation was based on that year’s price!
Here we’re looking at a what’s likely a Dobro Model 27, though possibly a 25, built during 1934 for Dobro by the Regal company of Chicago, Illinois. The body construction is largely of Birch ply, bound top and back,with likely Poplar for the neck and Walnut for the fingerboard.

❌SOLD❌ Scheerhorn L-Body Flame Maple Squareneck Resophonic Guitar

On January 4, 2020 /

Tags: L-body, national, resophonic, Scheerhorn

Here is something new, rare and wonderful – a brand-new Scheerhorn L-Body Flame Maple Squareneck Resophonic Guitar, built under license by National Resophonic Guitars in San Luis Obispo, California. In 1989, Tim Scheerhorn showed Mike Aldridge his first experimental squareneck and by the end of 1990 Scheerhorn guitars were in the hands of many top pro players and Tim already had a long waiting list. The Dobro guitar construction style had stayed static since the 1930s with virtually no design changes.
