Franklin on Nashville Craigslist

Post by Zach Keele »

Not mine, but here it is. Thought I'd give those interested a heads up. They sure are great guitars.

Looking mighty fine and at $8000 should go to someone with seriously deep pockets. Is a Forumite the owner, I wonder? stevet

He might be, but if I was selling mine, I would put it on here and watch it fly away in about 17 minutes. :mrgreen:

A lot of folks said the Franklin listed here last fall wouldn't fly at 12,500. But it flew. Given it was a lot more guitar and a little later model. So I wouldn't bet the farm on weather this one will fly.

The one a few weeks ago was listed for $7000, and i'd call three days flying. The J.D. Maness guitar flew in one day. The only Franklin I've ever seen not fly, was a single neck. D-10 Franklins have wings. :D

Pardon my ignorance, but, exactly what makes the Franklin steel guitar so special? I can usually recognize a player on a recording, but I can never distinguish what guitar he might be using.
