Ivan thanks for clearing that up for me. Can't say I know anything about Carson Chamberlain. But I looked back on the archives and see this has been discussed before. My loss as he's a great player!

I love that tune and Keith really nails it! What kind of steel is that? Looks maybe homemade, with Carter necks?

I believe that is a Franklin. The fretboards are not Carter. Looks like snow flakes or something (can't remember exactly what Franklin uses). The logo looks like a Franklin. Also, the Ped-A-Bro on the top neck makes me believe it's a Franklin.

Great video. Whitley is one of my all time faves. Big loss.
