Up for sale is a killer 1957 Rickenbacker Combo 400 in a well worn and oxidized Montezuma Brown finish. The finish on this guitar is odd as it almost looks as though the original body finish was painted over and then has worn through. Either way, it's incredibly cool and unique looking. Electronics, neck finish, parts and guard are all stock. Very cool and lovely early Ric!
Some fun facts for your next bar trivia night:
- The Rickenbacker Combo 400 was introduced in 1956.
- It was the very first Rickenbacker model to feature the iconic double-convex "tulip" body shape.
- It marked the historic debut of Rickenbacker's famous neck-through-body design
- It was the first solidbody Spanish electric model to use a DeArmond single-coil pickup, instead of the old horseshoe variant.

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 at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
