Philips Radio Guitar Amp Conversion with Rickenbacker Frying Pan Guitar

http://gnomeamps.com/products/white-stallion-head/ for sound demos of our production head. Details on video: Here are the first few licks played by the proud owner of the Philips radio rig upon delivery of his amp. The guitar he is playing is the Rickenbacker "frying pan," which is the first mass produced electric guitar. The tone and sustain that thing pumps out is FAR beyond any guitar I have ever played - and it was made in the late 1930s....

Where is the cable?

[gnomeamps]

@superskwrl Not sure where it plugs into on the guitar, I think it's facing Malcolm. I used one of the holes on the rear of the amp for the input jack to keep nice aesthetics; that's why you can't see the cable very well.

Malcolm was improvising here, but he may have mixed in some stones licks. I will relay your compliment to him. Thanks!
