It seems to me that frypans, the 30s variety, have always been worth a lot of money, being the very first electric guitars. I myself prefer the bakelite over my early frypan, as far as the playing part is concerned. I wont let loose of the frypan, but I play it seldom.
The guitar on ebay has an added tone control, but is in fine original condition.
Not very many people play frypans professionally, so what does that mean??
I hauled mine to Hawaii last spring because it was lighter than the bakelite, but that was a mistake I think now. |

| If I were buying a frypan-type steel, I'd grab a fabulous-sounding, gleaming new Aiello dustpan over some ratty old Rick - but hey, that's just me. |

Do you think it a probability that they do not like carrying those expensive, historical keepsakes around the country for fear of damage or someone stealing them?
Bill, you left me hanging. Why did you think it was a mistake to take your frypan to Hawaii? I would be glad to know your reasons.
In Hawaii the Bakelites are more subject to getting out of tune because of the heat and humidity, right?
Aloha,

I pined for a Frypan forever and when the opportunity came, I jumped on it. What a great decision it was because, to me, nothing sounds as good as Frypan. Mine sounds great, too, but Rick Aiello's A25 is undoubtedly THE best sounding steel I've ever heard, and I've owned a few good ones. The B6s I've played were nice, but they weren't on par with the Frypans I've played. My favorite players played them, too.
I take my Frypan everywhere with me--vacation, to the park, wherever--without any consideration as to its safety. It would make a good weapon. |
