Here is mine and I adore it. I would love a T8 but yours is the first I've seen. I am told it is a 1956 DW 16 - no idea how accurate that information is.

I have to agree with Doug on that ! I acted too slow on one that I saw on the forum a short time ago.Doug Beaumier wrote:Those 1950s Rick D-16s are beautiful! That guitar has just zoomed to the top of my wish list.

Beautiful steels all. I don't have a console, but several Rick lap steels.

Agree that the Rick D-16s are beautiful and sound great.

I had the opportunity to play a Stringmaster D8 quite recently - imagine, two steel players turn up for a Western Swing session - in Munich!!! Anyway the Stringmaster had a very warm tone and I was much impressed but playabilty was about the same, so you could be right Doug.Doug Beaumier wrote:Paul, I like the look of that DW-16. I read the Rickenbacker modeled that guitar after the Fender Stringmaster, which was very popular at the time. It looks even more stylish than a Stringmaster IMO.
I don't know much about the instrument itself. I've heard a complaint that as the controls are in the middle, they get in the way of certain moves but as this is the one and only D8 I own, I guess I have adapted.
As I develop on the instrument, I find more uses for the second neck ... to the point that I am thinking it's time for an upgrade to a T8 or even Q8 and even considering such instruments rarely appear for sale in Europe, I think I'd prefer another Ricky!
