I'm not worthy either. But that didn't keep me from buying this lovely fry pan last week. I opted for a satin finish with black fret board. $1900.

Do what you have to do to acquire a Clinesmith Frypan. I’m far from worthy of such a fine instrument, but it happens to be my favorite guitar of my lifetime. If you’re waiting for a used one to come up, my guess is it’ll be a while.

IMO @ $1900 that Clinesmith Frypan is a great deal. I was going to say "it's a steal" but that might get confusing. Congrats Chuck!

No prices on the website, I'm possibly willing to spend my $1,200 check on a short scale 6 string .you only live once.of course I would have to buy a small tube amp also,that would be all I would need to make it through this crazy pandumbic.Hawaiian Steel Guitar!

Thanks for the comments guys.
I am not putting these Frypans on my website for the time being. I am just advertising on my facebook page, word of mouth, and I have advertised on the forum.
I do not get seconds or blemished castings. If I do I send em back to my foundry , but they rarely send me anything I would not like. I will say every one of these castings will have some slight imperfections which is natural in sand castings. Be it either a sand inclination or porosity. I like to refer to them as birth marks, and it does make em unique, and recognizable. The foundries I work with are top notch, and work with little ole me pretty well.
Joe is correct with my pricing at $1900. I am making these in long scale 6,7,and 8 string models. As well as short scale 8 strings. I have built 1 short scale 7 on an 8 string body.
As for now I have no plans on building a short scale 6 string. I would need several orders to get a model like this to pay for itself. I have put feelers out there and it does not seem I have the support to get this model off the ground. If I had 8 or so folks who wanted one, that would encourage me to make a pattern for a short 6.
Tom, if you have any other questions, I would be happy to answer them here or by email.

Hi Mike,
The spacing for the 6 string is:
Nut 1.875 ( .375 or 3/8 center to center between each)
Bridge 2.1 (.42 center to center)
8 string models
Nut 2.375 (.339 center to center between each)
Bridge 2.75 ( .392 center to center)
I'll give the 7 as well:
Nut 1.875 ( .3125 or 5/16ths center to center)
Bridge 2.25 ( .375 or 3/8 center to center)
