Hey Gaetan, I’m afraid she’s sold to Mr. Scott Walls.
I guess I need to ask someone to close this ad…

PM sent!

Still available!

To the top!

Well, with some hefty college tuition due I'm considering selling just about the nicest thing I own - ShowPro "The Lloyd Green" #180. Jeff S. has described it as the most beautiful finish they've done, although I think ALL of his guitars are gorgeous... Built in 2015, excellent condition. ...

I watch that a few times a year to be amazed/inspired/humbled!!

A little more than a grand, but by all accounts the best “starter” out there:

It’s dropped to the oh-so-reasonable price of $17,000…

Oh, oops. Already stated by John Larson.

I think the relative rarity of Franklin guitars probably makes them more desirable too.
There a lots of Mullen G2s and LDGs out there, but only a handful of Franklins. Same reason people are (evidently) willing to pay $7,000 for a Klon Centaur.

This might be a stupid suggestion, but maybe you could invest in having a few reusable shipping cases made. The buyer would then pay 2x shipping - once to receive the guitar and again to send the empty case back to you. Obviously that would add to the cost, but if I’m buying a $3,000 guitar I’m ...

Keep these negative statements up an I won’t dance at your next wedding !! I think Johnnie was cleverly indicating that it’s a mixed breed! ‘Bud with a Show-Pro changer… Haha! I was jumping to your defense, Johnnie!! :D I really did think you were saying it’s a ‘Bud with a Jeff Surrat u...

I couldn't help myself. If I need to go to the corner I will. J.D. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/7705_buds_2.jpg I think your bud collection might be worth the most money, Jerry…. :lol: This is kind of a silly question unrelated to how the play and sound, but I think the full woo...

Oh, oops...sorry b0b - ditto what Andy said. :D And Andy, ditto what Larry said! She looks beautiful, as your other restorations have. I recall a blue darlin’ of sorts that you did in the recent past. I would expect more inlay from you though. ;-) That birdseye that Sho Bud was able to get a hold ...

Super classy looking. I'd probably end up drilling more holes in it, knowing me... Do some people put lights in the undercarriage, like ground effects on a car? I thought I saw a Johnny Cox video where he had that. Apologies for being off-topic... If you happen to have an extra fifteen grand or so ...

Check out his other videos. I think he may be a mad genius....

Sorry, but can’t believe it takes a year or more to make a steel guitar no matter how fine they are. In 1986, I ordered a new Emmons D-10 LeGrand with custom color mica and got it in 2 weeks and it was perfect in every way and can you just imagine how many guitars Emmons was selling during that t...

In one of the Franklin Method videos Paul talks about placement. He has it on p4 because it was the easiest placement, but thinks having it at the 0 position makes a little more sense as he tends to use it in conjunction with the A pedal (I’m paraphrasing, of course). He goes on to say that his da...

I watch every week on Youtube, Del.

That was awesome!
And dude, your guitars...

I’m now a subscriber!

It’s a chunk of change, but you might consider signing up for The Paul Franklin Method. There’s a $100 option called “Basic E9” or something to that effect that doesn’t have quite as much info, but I believe includes the basic interval/number system concepts presented in the full mamajama ...

If you are associated with, or have any influence with PETERSON tuners, please read on... Having the quantized offset information readily available with shared sweeteners would be very valuable information to us all. This information CAN be reverse-engineered (as demonstrated by others above), howe...

I was wondering when we’d finally see (hear) it in action!
Pretty sweet....
