Hi there,
My brother Drew left me with a Rickenbacker Electro Fry Pan guitar in excellent condition. I am not sure what it’s worth. Can anyone give me an idea of its value? Thanks Larry

Hello Larry,
I'm no expert, but this is a beauty. It's certainly worth way north of $20.
Seriously, search Rickenbacher Single Knob Fry Pan and you'll see prices
in the thousands.
I bet it sounds beautiful. Might be a keeper!  |

This is a 1950s model and while it is super sweet, it doesn’t command the same kind of price as an original early Fry Pan. Does the back of the body have a bakelite cover?

It shows a red plastic back.

Mine has no serial number and multiple attempts to find info on when certain features were initiated led me to this post and this forum, which I have now happily joined. (I did also find another post that has the dating info and pics, so I conclude it's 1954ish)
Mine came from Wisconsin. The seller, who's name escapes me at the moment, is a great player and has some videos on YouTube playing this and others.
Only thing I see different on mine is I'm missing a few of the fret marker inserts. I'm guessing they are made of the same bakelite as the back. I strongly doubt one could find any anywhere to replace them beyond stealing from another one, which would be kind of nuts. LOL
Not for sale. But for those interested in price, I paid $3000 on Reverb which was well below the asking price.
the next 3 photos are by the seller
