Very nice John. I always likes those D-16's. They are getting hard to find.
Add a sound clip if you get a chance. |

Congratulations John!
Does it have the Rick Bakelite "sound" or
a sound of it's own 
It will be great for all those arrangements
of Jerry's that you have mastered.
Thanks for emailing me the pics.
Roy

Nice score! I've always personally thought they were kinda homely lookin' (IMHO), but they still sound great. What year is it?
Sweet!

I found the guitar here locally. I don't know the year, but; the S/N is D-27112, if that helps. Everything appears to be original.

Cool Steel Big John!
Those DW-16s are great sounding guitars.
That's what Gary Brandin plays.
He has a blonde one like this:
Hang on to this one buddy - it's a good one!

| Hi John !! Nice steel !! I have a blond DW-16 , ser. # D 6088 , a real sweet sounding guitar from 1956 someone told me !! The horseshoe pkups still have the magnetic force in them and the sound is definitely Old Rickenbacher. I do the old Hawaiian stuff and am very happy with the sound and the appearance !! I'll send you an E-mail with a pic. Eddie "C" ( the old non-pedal geezer ) |

I like DWs so much I have three of them.
Here is a pic of one with my SW single neck. Similar body as a Fender Dual Pro but with horseshoe pickups.
