Franklin guitar

Post by Morten Sand »

Hi.
I've got an old Franklin D10 with 8 and 7.
The serialnumber is 002.
Does anyone know anything about this guitar ?
The decal on the front has been replaced.
P.S. Here's some pictures of it. www.morten-sand.com

Thanks :-)<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Morten Sand on 20 September 2002 at 04:13 AM.]</p></FONT><FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Morten Sand on 20 September 2002 at 04:14 AM.]</p></FONT>

I don't know anything about your guitar, but I enjoyed your sound samples on your Web-site. I suspect you like swing music.

I could be wrong.But I think it was originaly Paul Jr's guitar.Had 9 pedals when it was new.It's had several owners and at one time was owned by the forums Jerry Wallace.

I have a Franklin just like yours with 705's
#025. I'm also a good friend of Larry Gadler, the bass player in one of your pictures.

Sorry I can't view your site.My old Franklin is #22.I cleaned the changers,rerodded,added a ton of changes.(Raises and lowers).I plays like a dream and sounds a little better to my ears than the the later model.I love them both.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Bobby Boggs on 21 September 2002 at 10:03 AM.]</p></FONT>
