| I have a Jerry Byrd frypan 8 string lap steel in absolutely mint condition, both case and guitar. It looks like burnished stainless steel finish and has 110 stamped on the end of the headstock. I just bought it at an out of the way music store and would like to know more about it if someone knows including perhaps the value of such an instrument. I have never seen one like it before, especially in as good of shape as this one. I though frypans only came in 6 string but apparently not. Any help on this one? Jerry Maranville. |

J.M., something like that is usually worth about $10.00, but I'd give you $12.50 for it if it's in as good shape as you say. 
Some people have all the luck. Enjoy !

| I had some help through e-mail on this as well as the appreciated responses on the forum. From the serial number,indeed it is an Excel. I played it a little and my goodness, I couldn't believe the deep, rich, full sound coming out. I was wrong about the body. Apparently it is a burnished aluminum alloy. The instrument is heavy for it's size though. I was a little worried that I had paid too much as I laid out a little more than $10 (just ribbing). I think it may be a keeper. Thanks again for the repys. Jerry. |
