What Kind of Steel is Roy Wiggins Playing in This Video?

[C. E. Jackson]

This video title has terrible spelling, but what kind of steel is Little Roy Wiggins playing on this song? Looks like a Rickenbacker to me. What do you think?

Yes, it's a Ric. Also that's the Willis Brothers in the backup band.

I've seen several pics of Roy W, playing his Rick strung over his neck like a dobro !!Sounded very good in his style !! Very unusual to see a Rick played that way !! . Roy and several other Opry steel players switched to Rickenbacher after Jerry Byrd came on the Opry , all looking for that special "Sound" !! olde geezer AKA Eddie "C"
