Description :

The term “Frying Pan” lap steel refers to the very first commercially successful electric guitars, introduced in the early 1930s. They were named for their long, round neck and circular body that looked like a skillet. The most famous versions were made by Rickenbacker (then Rickenbacher) and National/Supro. Early electric lap steel design with cast metal body and classic 1930s style. Highly collectible example of early electric guitar history.
Dimensions : 32.5 in L
