FS: Rino van Hooijdonk 14 Fret D Hole w/Resonator w/Case

db5 · April 13

Selling my Rino Guitar. This one is from 2014 and has the internal resonator like the early Selmers. Beautiful guitar with the traditional sound / feel most Rino's seem to aim for. Headstock reads "Maccaferri Special / Selmer RvH" and has Schaller Classic Deluxe Tuners. Neck is Walnut (I believe) and is pretty meaty, but comfortable if you like a fuller neck.

Unfortunately, this one came to me with a break at the grafted headstock joint courtesy of FedEx. It has been repaired and I'm told by the tech who did it that it is stronger now than when it was made. I do not doubt this and have used the Rino on gigs. No issues present from the repair. This was a year ago.

Here is a link to a clip of Tcha playing it, presumably around the time it was made. The fidelity of the older cell phone recording isn't great but you can hear that it sounds pretty powerful in Tcha's hands:

I'll drop a few pictures here. Happy to send more privately or to chat with any serious buyers.

Asking $2300 + buyer shipping. (Pricing this taking the repair into account).

Also, I'm not looking to make a penny off of shipping so I can box it up and get the shipping quote first to wherever you are. Looking to sell to the lower 48 for ease of all things.

Not too many Rino's floating around. PM me if you are interested or have questions about this one. Thanks for looking!
