Agreed!

I think Mr. Baucum hit it on the nose.All the players mentioned in the thread are just scary good. They make anything they do sound great! That’s why we know them, that’s why they are in the studios. That’s why if I sat down behind a Franklin I would be my usual couple of steps slightly above ...

Well if that’s the case then both myself and the gentleman who bought it both got good deals and I got to play a modern steel for awhile. I’m sure the good deal Karma will come back to me. I still have my Bud and more guitars than your average bear! It’s a win win!
