No connection to this ad and not in the market (currently), but stumbled across this frypan this morning on Reverb. Curious about what this is! Thoughts on what we’re looking at here?

I aw that too. The description makes it seem as though it's home-made out of parts. No frets?? That means it's not a real Rick body, I would think. And horrible pictures.

it never ceases to amaze me what some owners of fine old instruments consider to be "improvements". someone will buy it, i'm sure, and then try to sell it on ebay for $29K as a "prototype."

I like the high quality photos. Looks like it was pulled out of trash bin, along with whatever camera was used to photograph it.

It will be interesting to see if it shows up here. Those pictures are awful. Maybe it will clean up?

Looks maybe real😅 that someone just sprayed silver, over the decal and everything, might have been a good deal but I agree, terrible listing.

The back of the body is wrong for either a pre-War or post-War Rickenbacker. This is not a genuine Rick casting.

🚩🚩🚩🚩 I DO like the leather trombone case 😎. I see where he “re-listed, ..fake buyer account”. The sensible thing to do is have Clinesmith BUILD your frypan replica closer to original specs. Even if you had to save up your ducats over years. Much better consistent playability.. you’d be a happier clam with that alone. Otherwise, the Reverb “Dumpster Wars” will disappoint you time and again.
