I have a Rickenbacker double neck and can't find much info on it.
Guessing it is early 60s. Anyone have an idea of its value?
Thank you,
Johnny7

Even though they are nice guitars, Rickenbackers don't bring the money that the Fender D8s etc do, and being a D6 makes it less desirable for buyers.
Of course if you want to keep it and play it, the value is a moot point, and that one is in really good condition. |

Posted 27 Apr 2011 8:19 pm About those Dbl-8 Rickenbackers......................

| One of your own SGF members sold a Dbl-8 just like the one you have photographed in this post a little over a year ago for somewhere close to $1,000. I think it was advertised here on the Forum. You might want to check that out. |

That is a mid 50's model. I had a blond double 8 like that- traded it for a Fender Custom. It was an outstanding guitar, and i'd still have it if I could have afforded to just buy a triple.
I'd love to own another someday...the value is hard to say- like someone noted above, they don't really have the collector value of Fenders, but there are guys out there(like me) who would pay a decent price. |

I know the Dbl 8's are called a DW-16
It's probably a DW-12.
Great guitars. I'd think its worth somewhere around $800- 1000

D-6 models with legs are more desirable among rock guitarists than steel players. Steve Kimock, for example, plays a D-6.
The advantage of this particular guitar is the wonderful Rickenbacker horseshoe pickups. I'm drooling over the picture just thinking about it. I agree with Todd about the value ($800-$1000). You can probably reach that ballpark on Ebay. Here on the Forum it would have to be priced slightly lower to sell quickly.

This site may provide a little more information. There is a history page with older catalogs.

| Looks like a 1955,56 or 57, great guitar, can't think of a better D-6. The serial number would help nail down the date |

My 50s Carvin D6 will give it a good race, but I'd hate to bet against that Ricky. |

Yours is a 1956, Rickenbacker's 25th anniversary
An earlier 1954 D-6 just sold on Ebay for $550.00 but it had no legs and the case was re-carpeted inside |

| Nice! Are there any soundclips of these old Rick consoles anywhere? I know what a Fenders and Gibsons sound like, but not the Ricks. |

Here's one I'm really proud of, it is single neck, Jerry Byrd model. Jerry said that this was his favorite guitar.
