the difference between an eh-150 and an eh-100 is hardly "feces out of fly paper." I guess you must know this guy.

take a look at ebay offering # 1427436272 and decide what you want to say to this guy for thanking us for our help.

mike,
we should always remember, in our principal, we have "a pal." And there is "a rat" in separate.

So, bOb, would you trade your Sierra 8 string lap straight up for an 8 string Fender Deluxe? If not, why not? If so, why not?

Sold a bull, cow, and calf. Now I'm rich. Will trade dollars for pre-war Rickenbacher frying pan. Surely to God someone wants to convert their lap to a NASDAQ skyrocket.

Also, see p. 20 in Gruhn's ELECTRIC GUITARS AND BASSES (mine is in better shape, more original). And Brad B, if you'd post that scan on your site I sent you muchos meses ago, they'd be able to look at it there. If all you frying pan owners are not into trading, how about dinero?

In some places, Gruhn and others refer to the ALL metal eh as an e-150. It was made in 1935-36 for 9 months or so. See page 254 of Gruhn's new Guide. The eh-185, part wood, part metal, was introduced in 1939. See page 255 of Gruhn's new Guide.

an EH is the Gibson metal body that preceded the eh-150. There were, according to Gruhn, only 98 made. It has a Charlie Christian pickup, a tweed case, and pretty much the same sound as an eh-150. I have a mint one, and I am looking for a rick 7 string frying pan.

mint EH for 7 string pre-war Rick fryer.

If there is a fool in the deal, it is the seller. He's the one who is out the listing fee. Trying to start it off with a completely out of bounds amount, whether he is using a shill or not, is foolishness. I still maintain that the bidder is not acting in cahoots with the seller. I've seen him make ...

The seller can pull out if no bid has been made. Once a bid is made, the seller is locked into the auction. The buyer has no obligation whatsoever if the reserve has not been met. In reality, they can both pull out, change their names, and go about their willy-nilly business.

I've watched the current bidder on a lot of lap steels during the last 18 months, and believe me, he is no sucker. The fact that he bid on the owner's opening amount, and the reserve would not be met by that bid, means that the bidder was risking nothing, he was locking the owner into the auction, a...

Arlen Roth at Hot Licks has a new lap steel tape out. He's a tele guy, and his tape, tab included, will go a long way in understanding the same and not-same of lap and standard guitar. Most of the rest? ....

No question about the volume control added to the frying pan by Rickenbacher. I'm wondering about the originality of a second control - a tone control knob.

I am trying to resolve a question: Gruhn shows no tone control ever on Rick frying pans, Vintage Collector shows one added in 1935, inquiries to several gurus swing both ways. The Rick site is no help. Anyone got THE answer?
