Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Good Vintage condition with normal wear for an instrument of this age, including dings, scratches, scrapes, and natural aging of parts and finish. There is a small pickguard crack to the left of the pickup. There is some scratching on the upper face of the headstock that may have been initials (see photos). Despite the wear and tear of over 60 years of life, this guitar presents nicely with a true vintage vibe.
Symfonia Grand was a budget line produced by Rickenbacker in 1962 with reportedly only 50 units made. It's unique features and distinctive Greenburst finish make it sought after by collectors. It's a real head turner and fun as heck to play. If you're a Rick lover, this guitar would be a great addition to your collection. Snag it while you can.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
