Hi all,
I just purchased a near mint 1959 Rickenbacker 450 from a reputable dealer yesterday. As you can see from the below the pics the metal parts and the case are almost mint however I was looking at it closely this morning and noticed a few things that made me double look.
I notice the walnut wings are a little "blurry" as they hit the maple, and I can see what I think looks like buffing compound at the neck join. Do people think it could have been re-finished?
Any help much appreciated.
