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.

Here's my long scale model 708. It's belonged to a couple of other forum members in the past but it's mine now! Great guitar.

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. Cool

Those 1950s Rick D-16s are beautiful! That guitar has just zoomed to the top of my wish list. Cool

I have to agree with Doug on that ! I acted too slow on one that I saw on the forum a short time ago.

That's a nice one, Erv... an 8-string. The JB Model came in 6, 8, or 10 strings. I would opt for 8 if I had a choice.

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

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.

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!

I picked up this Console 758 a couple weeks ago. 25" scale. Todd Clinesmith zapped the horseshoes and now the guitar sounds glorious.

This is getting kind of off topic, but did you know that Rickenbacker made pedal steels?
