Good looking fry pan! Would you mind telling us how much it cost? (hoping it will convince other members to buy one!)

I also own a Tremblay and I see more and more members here buying them. That guy lives is from Quebec (my province) and I'm really proud of it. He builds low price custom lap steels so contact him for your next project : http://www.tremblayguitars.com/products/steel/

I never heard of a reversed tone. Is this a standard for fry pans?

The reverse tone pot is not standard is just a little tricks I discovered by accident because Im really bad in electronics, in fact I messed the other fry pan I played with Wayne Hancock, thats why I didn't do any boowhaa. The one I played with Wayne was my first, a very basic one, I receive the second one when I was back to canada, I wish I had this one to play with Wayne.

$600 is a VERY reasonable price for such a beautiful guitar.
Jean, maybe you should get him to post here on this forum. Might drum up some business.

Very nice guitar. Looks a bit similar to the Frypan replica I had Mike Dotson build for me.

Jean-Sebastien have bought his steel from Tremblay Guitars and they currently have a double 6 strings at 449$ (canadian dollars) : http://www.tremblayguitars.com/products/steel/index.php?serial=ls6m056

It could give you an idea of how much they would ask for a double 8 strings...

Hi Jean-Sebastien ,
Great looking fry pan!
I'm really thinking about getting one of these.
How does the pickup sound?
Would it be good for Hawaiian?
Capable of mellow tone?
I'm envious!

Rick:

Would it be good for Hawaiian? Sure!
Capable of mellow tone? Yes!

At first I was a little afraid that the Chicago pickup will be to aggressive but it sound really nice to me, I can get a very nice warm clean sound with it, well defined but not sterile, you know like a good P90, clean single coil but with maybe more mid.

I will a little demo tomorrow.

Thought that the guitar was a berauty just looking at it, now hearing it the beauty only grows. Love the sound and your playing is not all that bad either. Thanks for giving us a taste of this fantastic guitar.
