Re: Frying pan on Ebay
Marc,
That set is a superb example of a very early Frypan and Rick amp of the same era.
The seller is a collector, who really knows his stuff and is a straight shooter.
I don't think he needs to sell the set. A few months ago he told me that he was going to concentrate only on other specific types of guitars.
He seems to me to be a very reasonable guy and probably would accept an offer that isn't insulting.

Re: Frying pan on Ebay
A fabulous set no doubt......and I REALLY dig the amp.....
Re: Frying pan on Ebay
well, he didn't immediately decline my second offer...so maybe I'll get lucky.
It's not what I had in mind when I wanted to buy a steel, however..I do believe times like this are good for collectible items.

Re: Frying pan on Ebay
Marc,
If you buy that steel, you'll have a rare treasure. I love all of mine.
You might not be able to sell it for a profit immediately, but when the economy turns around, you probably will be able to.
Personally, I have never looked at my collection as an investment; I just try to enjoy them. Art for art's sake.
Good luck. Let us know what happens with the auction.

It's mine!
The line "art for art's sake"..that about covers it. How often does one get to buy one of the first electric guitars?
My plan is to take the amp to a qualified person to have it checked out before I play around with it.

Just think, Hawaiian Zeppelin!
Re: Frying pan on Ebay
blame it on JB and J-Dog...maybe I'll call it my J-tar...
trying to figure out what model amp that is. in the Vintage Guitar Price Guide, the only amp shown as being made in the 30's was the 200A, but it doesn't give any description of the amp

Re: Frying pan on Ebay
Congrats. I believe that amp is referred to as "the speaker."

Wow, awesome Art Deco styling; an amp fit for Charlie Christian. Looking at it makes me want to pick up my ancient Electromatic and play "Avalon" or "Caravan".blueflamerick wrote:That amp does look cool, but yes, amps can look cooler.leftybass wrote:Can an amp look ANY cooler....?
