I'm in the process of embarking on the building of a RICK BAKELITE stand for my room full of guitars.........so I can either sit or stand to play it.
One will be for a single guitar while the second unit will accomodate two Ricks side by side...........double neck versatility, if you will.
Anyone already have such a set-up?
I'm building-in SOLID, STURDY, BALANCED, and untipable/fall over design. You can even have your name (like BIGSBY) emblazened on the front of it. |

| Mahalo Jeff for the pic of Pua and his frypans. I vividly recall seeing him playing this setup at the Moana Hotel veranda facing the famous banyan tree. He would always dedicate a song to Mary and myself when we showed up to hear him with his group. I recall one night some asshole came to the stage and yelled to him, "hey, can't you guys play a polka?" Pua just smiled at him and carried on with his great music. He was one of Hawai'i's great treasures. I loved his vocalizing especially on the old Hawai'i Calls shows. Pua was indeed the flower of Hawai'i. |

Ray, having one's name "emblazened" sounds so glorious! That's reason enough for wanting one.  |

Hey Jeff! Many thanx for the fine photo. Now I know my basic idea will likely have merit. I just wasn't sure that two non-joined guitars could share the same "stand".
Appreciate your "positive" contribution. |

Those two pans pictured with Pua now reside peacefully near the corner of Judd St. & Nuuanu Ave.(not in the cemetary!)on Oahu. They are marked on the headstocks as Pua #1, and Pua #2.
