Any old Bake. Rick. D-6 s ???

Eddie Cunningham · From: Massachusetts, USA

In the early 50s I saw an old Hawaiian player in a Boston bar standing up playing what I thought was an old all Bakelite Rickenbacher D-6 on a stand. It would have been quite thick and probably heavy . Does anybody know for sure if Rickenbacher made a Bakelite Double 6 in the late 30s or early 40s ?? Just wondering !!?? My memory sometimes plays tricks on me !! Eddie "C" ( the old non-pedal geezer )

When I was seriously shopping for a Rick...during the early 1950's, I was shown a double-6. It was a sickly GREEN 'mother of toilet seat'...
The top neck was about six to eight inches higher than the closer neck. It was quite a study, to say the least. Elsewhere on the FORUM, one was pictured with a guy playing it. It is under the post DOUBLE NECK RICK from the '40's..........
It makes sense to me.
