Steely Dan: Walter Becker's 1976 Rickenbacker
Steely Dan: Walter Becker's 1976 Rickenbacker 360-12. Walter Becker rented this instrument from Studio Instrument Rentals in Los Angeles for the sessions that became the Aja album. Walter states that they kept the guitar out on rental so long that at the end of the sessions he owned it. Walter has stated that the guitar was used specifically on the title song. Walter sold the guitar in 1987 to its current owner, and subsequently rented it back for the China Crisis sessions. The guitar is in near mint condition, and is finished in the fairly rare Rickenbacker BurgundyGlo. Included with the instrument is the 1960s silver Rickenbacker hardshell case Walter received with the guitar. "Studio Instrument Rentals" and "Rickenbacker 12 String" appear on the case in large letters. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
