Sold; Please Close - Aluminum Frypan - The Black Pearl

Post by Dan Eason »

Since my musical path is taking me strictly acoustic, I would like to find the Black Mamba a good home. It is a 15 lb solid cast aluminum dustpan created by Rick Aiello.
It's attributes are:
* Short (22.5") scale
* chrome hardware
* abalone fret markers
* concentric potentiometers
* integrated nut and bridge
* 7/16" string spacing at the bridge
* 5/16" string spacing at the nut
* String height of 5/8" from the fretboard
* Rick's amazing Dining Car Pickup (search the forum for
details)

This guitar is fabulous and sounds incredible, but my ears are stuck in the tricone/weissenborn world of late.

$2200 and I will ship and insure.

And I've heard one of Rick's frypans and they sound fantastic. Wish a had a spare couple grand. Anyone who does, will get an amazing instrument!

Question, though: Why is the bridge spacing so much wider than the nut's?

Best 6 string I ever made ...

The string spacing is based on my 30's A25 Ricky frypan ...
