Erik Frykman

Sales Staff

(Tues - Fri)
Erik has been entranced with music since he was a toddler and has pretty much made a career out of it in one way or another. He has spend over 20 years at Gelb Music in Redwood City so he knows electric guitars and amps inside and out. While under the influence of Gryphon Stringed Instruments, Erik has expanded his mind into Collings, Bourgeois, Huss & Dalton, Martin & Taylor guitars. He has even been seen strumming an ukulele! Erik is a friendly, outgoing guy who will make your visit to Gryphon a delight.

Erik plays lead guitar with the band GravyBoat and is out gigging just about every weekend.
