The 1933 Rickenbacher A-22 Frying Pan is a milestone in electric guitar history, recognized as the first commercially successful electric guitar. Its cast aluminum body, 22.5" scale, and signature horseshoe pickup produce a rich, sustaining tone. This example has replaced tuners and a few missing dot inlays but is otherwise original and in excellent playing condition. Includes the original hardshell case.
*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
