Pittsburgh Guitars

 

1966 Rickenbacker 456/12
with 6/12 Converter

used by Sonny DiNunzio
in The Fenways and The Racket Squad

In 1965 "Walk" by The Fenways was a big hit in Pittsburgh.
By 1967 the band needed a better name, and a hipper look. They became The Racket Squad.
They appeared numerous times on the local TV show "Come Alive," and always had cool guitars and wild clothes.
(Back then I didn't understand why their guitar player's name was "Hop"...)
