This definitely sounds like one of those "hey man, let's jam!" sessions that happen after partaking of some fine herb...
Extra points for the period-correct lap steel stand. |

That has to be the cleanest Frying Pan I've ever seen. Bad news is it's the worst tone for a Frying Pan I've ever heard.

I'm a huge fan of David Gilmour.. his phrasing and his tone are atmospheric. Thanks for posting AJ.

I've been a Gilmour fan for a long time and my conclusion is this:
Tone is subjective and David has his own signiture tone no matter what guitar he plays. The tone on this one reminds me of "One of these days"
He's a master at the use of effects. Have you ever seen some of his stage rigs? Amazing.
He only needs one string to acheive the simple melodic solos he's known for.
Yeah, I'm sure he could have conjured that tone out of a cheap steel but he's got big bucks so he can play what he wants.
I'm just sayin'

I like David Gilmour, but I just didn't like the way the Frying Pan sounds. It sounds shrill and harsh to my ears through a cranked amp like that. Those pickups are super bright and I could never get mine to sound warm through my Fender amps. Still, I'm happy to see such a beauty.

This is my idea of great overdrive tone, so each to his own  FWIW, Gilmour gets all his drive tones from pedals, not the amp.

I listened again with a different set of earbuds and it did sound better, but I guess it's really his playing that I don't care for, especially the flatpick harmonic pinching. Like you said, to each his own.
Man, I bet they get some good weed.

Frypans are great guitars though. They do need some tone control from the amp for sure, since as Rick Aiello put it, "they will peel paint off the wall" in the treble spectrum........ 
Thing is, they are great guitars without any "modern" effects tacked on, but I gotta admit that I use a "touch" of reverb for steel guitars, which does emphasize their "soul".....
Subjective of course, but it seems like a waste of a frypan to load it up with things that totally mask it's tone. Just an opinion...and I like all you guys !  |

Thanks for the link AJ
While I'm sure its not everyone's cup of tea, I've been a Floyd / Gilmour fan for years and enjoy David's music. Ultimately I think its a good thing as it continues to help showcase the versatility of steel guitar and exposes many younger musicians to a whole different world.
What I'd like to know is the details on that Frypan.

Well said Rick!
I got sneaky with my frypan, and mounted a small plastic aerospace type pot inside, with a cap, for rolling off some of the treble. It's only accessable through the jack (without a cord plugged in of course) with a long skinny screw driver. Works good, with a mostly permanent setting. Only one knob, for volume, like it was built. |
