Now that I have bakelite fever, I see this odd Rickenbacher on the bay. Just posting since I have not seen this body type yet.

I'm pretty sure it didn't come from the factory looking like that...

I would like to hear from lapsteel players about the functional advantage, if any, of having this portion of the instrument removed.

I asked the seller about the cutaway and he will post some more photos of the area.

More picts are posted of the cutaway. I thought bakelite was molded and not something you shaped or carved but this looks very clean although hard to see all black very clearly and with detail.
