Yeah, that's the fellow. Met him in March 1975 at Hendrix's old studio in NYC, Electric Lady Studios. My sister used to work there and I lived a couple blocks away, so I'd stop by every couple days. A ...

Nice Strat! I used to own a near mint '54 that was #0157, I ended up selling it to Ron Wood for peanuts back in 1975. Not a day passes that I don't think of that guitar.

Looking for Rickenbacher Fry Pan, let me know what you have, pllease pm me,
Thanks, Robert

I love the Beltona fiberglass Tricone......it's kinda like a metal Tricone with a bit of a Style O sound......

Generally speaking when we're the parts made?

Here's a pic of the SJ. I have a very nice Gibson firestripe pickguard to go with the guitar.

Anyone have a '30s era Rickenbacher Fry Pan they'd like to part with? Please PM me,
Thanks!

Great looking fry pan, congratulations to the builder and new owner!

I like that stand. Where can I get one? Thanks, Rob

I've come across that black pitch inside a few Silver Hawaiians before. I think it's some sort of creosote. I removed it by repeated rinsing with hot water and steam.

Thanks for the reply Chris.....I've been on the lookout for a smaller amp for my lap steels, something that's versatile tone wise. I've got a small Supro, but you need to add an equalizer and reverb t ...

I believe those octagonal shaped knobs are unique to early Rickenbacher Frypans and Bakelites. There are larger ones that are radio knobs, and repros are available, but it's near impossible to find a ...

Thanks Brad!
