These don't come along often. Most of you know Mr. Franklin only made 25 of these amazing instruments. This one is serial number 005. I bought it from the legendary Sonny Garrish many years ago. The number of amazing recordings that Sonny played this on is really something. I have enjoyed playing it on my own projects as well. I'm asking $15,000 firm based on previous sales history and extremely limited availability of these works of art. Click on the link to take you to the add on craigslist. Thanks. Gary

| Gary, that Pedabro above is a collectors piece. Very rare. I smiled when I heard that you came to Nashville as a steel player. Good luck with the sale, good to have you here on the Forum. |

Hey Gary! I remember you from the 80's era.
Was looking at your web page link & found it to be uplifting with the "hymn a week" offered to "all that are weary & heavy laden" so many of us feel in todays' world.
Not to hijack the thread but I see a lot in common as mom is from OK and I grew up in the traditional Baptist church w/christian values instilled. We also share the same B'day.
Good luck in the sale of the Pedabro......these are waay cool  Welcome to the forum too  |

I went out and played this guitar the day Gary put it up for sale. I'm not sure how often he gets on the forum, but I can attempt to answer the setup question. It is/was 4 pedals, 5 knees, and I believe the fourth pedal was the whole tone lower on strings 5 and 10. I want to say the knees were in similar locations to what Paul's guitars are.
The last we spoke, which was about two weeks later, he had sold it.
Here is a pic I snapped of the changer.
