1948 Rickenbacher NS-6 lapsteel with cardboard case slides and finger picks.

Traded a Line6 Variax 500 for the beast.

Congrats! Wow, before they "Americanized" the name to Rickenbacker.

I believe they used to come with a hot-rodded Rat pedal and Fuzz Face, take a look in the case. I could be mistaken though.

Depending on which Variax model, seems you got the better end of that trade.

Edit: just noticed you said it was a lowly 500. You definitely win.
