The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland added a Rickenbacker Frying Pan A25 lap steel guitar to its collection on Wednesday, July 20, 2022. It's considered the first electric guitar.
It was dubbed the Frying Pan because the body resembled a round cast-iron pan with a long handle. Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
"This is now currently the oldest electric guitar in our museum," Andy Leach, senior director of museum and archival collections at the Rock Hall, told Fox News Digital.
