Hi there, just wondered if anyone had any info on this particular model/configuration, don't think I've seen a double neck of this Ricky model before but have to assume if there's one hen there's bound to be others

Interesting; someone took a pair of steels, cut them up, and welded them together. Whoever it was, it wasn't done by Rickenbacker. Rick did make double-necks going back to the early '40s, maybe earlier, but they were quite different from this.

Saw it … bought it here on the forum. That’s all the history I know.

I will say that the painting was done after the joining together … the enameled gray paint is continuous ...

The big issue is there are no supports (wood blocks)!under the bridges and they have “caved in” some …

That top photo looks like the Model that Columbus found in the Caribbean and took back as treasure to the Queen.

We sell Nut and Bridges and flying saucer Knobs in White that fit those 59 models if you want to "Make them Live Again".
