I haven't been a Forum member very long-maybe three months. I never seem to find much about "Franklin" steels. I play an Emmons myself but I am familar with the Franklin name and it's builder. I never see one on TV or in consert. Does anyone besides Paul Jr. play one? sliding away,

I play a Franklin D10 as my main steel. For recording there is nothing like it. Bob |

Bobby Black played one for a while. Great guitars. Now what about Ben Franklin? ------------------ |

I have 4 Franklin pedal instruments, and I have been hooked for over two decades now. |

Oh yeah, a couple of players who own and use Franklins are Bruce Bouton and Hal Rug. |

There's something funny about Franklin owners/players. They don't tend to hoot and holler about their axes. I try to be the same although I'm sometimes compelled to counter people's bad manners and breeding regarding my choice in guitar (not Franklin). But the quiet going about their business way of Franklin folk has a real appeal. |

I've always found that the quiet guys are the best players; and the big talkin' hootin' and holler-ers about their "best" equipment and what great players they are .... are not!  [This message was edited by Jim Phelps on 18 August 2002 at 08:12 PM.] |
