For sale is Fender Rhodes, serial number K788839 with extrasThis Rhodes is a rare and precious find in top condition with tons of extras.I am owner 2 and received the unit in 1998 while a manager of a boutique synth and keyboard shop. The original owner was a pastor in the New Orleans area, where this was used for some services as far as I understand. The unit was received in great shape, and I combed over this unit, cleaning and tightening it with the assistance of various professional techs at our keyboard shop.As a clean original unit, this unit was ready to rock and roll. For 15 years, this Rhodes was used by me for occasionally playing live gigs. Usually, I brought it when there was a grand piano, but most of the time, I leaned on the Roland RD series. This has been featured on a few albums, sometimes with me playing - damned if I remember.The keyboard has been in climate-controlled storage for about a decade. Before storage, this keyboard was loved. This is my first and last Rhodes.
