This was probably one of the most popular guitars of the 60s as it started many guitarists off to a great future. Because of the realistic price tag of £30 it made electric guitars readily available. This one is an early 1960 model with serial number: 1112. It is in exceptional original condition being over 45 years old, the electronics are working and it even plays well. Sadly, the original tremolo arm was lost but I found a close-looking replacement and fitted a new headstock logo. These early Rapiers had no truss rod and a set neck but later models had a truss rod and bolt on neck.
