Excellent post and point Donny.

I often noticed that Buddy Charleton played “on top” of ET quite often but it was always so right for the song.

At one time I owned two G2's; one with a 705 reissue and one with a Telonics 409. In the G2, the 409 was the clear winner to my ears. I've been very pleased with it.

I have them on a Franklin, Mullen G2, and a Zum Hybrid. My ears don't detect any difference.

Mike Sweeney uses them. You might want to get his take on them.

Bobbe Seymour sold clear covers like these and i got one about twenty years ago. It has held up well and never discolored.

Maybe it's not good for lacquer but it's fine on a mica guitar.

I am due for a replacement soon. It's a nice cover in my opinion.

Best wishes!

Thanks Paul and give my regards to your father.

I had already tried changing the O-ring. I will oil it and replace the string from a new batch.

Thanks again!

Re: Franklin

One other point to consider is that when tuning a tuning compensator make sure you lower the string via the knee lever then turn it in the direction you desire. I would back everything off and start again on that string. Do the raise first with the B pedal Do the split 2nd with the B pedal and the ...

Franklin D-10 Lower Return Compensator Issue

I am having a problem with the lower return compensator, on the sixth string of my Franklin D10. On my Franklin, I lower six a whole tone and have a tunable split on that string that’s accomplished with a hex socket head screw. (I know this is very rare, but it was installed by Mr. Franklin, and I...
