Is this funny or what?

We've been laughing about it for a while here:

Sorry,
I don't usually monitor that board.
The listing is laughable enough, but that's really a poor copy at best.
The Bakelite bridge and nut and the headstock proportions are really ridiculous.
Still it's a lot of fun.

Yes, I suppose I should have posted it here too, I'm just used to putting ebay stuff in the online sightings section.

So, this one isn't even real? Are these so collectible that people are making fake Frying Pans?

I guess this must be a prototype faker Flying Pan...

[rshatz]

The pickup looks like a relatively early model.
The crinkle beige finish is period correct.
There is no angulation of the headstock.
Certainly not a prototype.
The earliest production models/prototypes were quite different.

Richard-I got this from Barney today-only he didn't get the"Flying" Pan. He loves steels, but he has a lot to learn.

That Flying Pan went for $2700.
I guess I still have a lot to learn about these things.
