Finally after all these years of praying to the Steel Gods, my dream came true. 
I have just returned from Sweden after doing a deal with Ulf Edlund. Ulf had restored the Franklin and wow what a job he did, its new again !!!
The Franklin is superb, the tone everything I really expected and this is guitar is for keeps !!!
To date its the best guitar I have ever owned and I am so happy and proud to be a Franklin owner 
I think its the only d10 Franklin in the country as I know of one other S10.
S/N 22

Jamie, you are one lucky dog!
I once had a straight swap of a Fender 400 for a ... Fender 400! I think I got the better end of the deal.
You are a Paul Franklin man and this steel is just what you needed. Enjoy!

This is kinda like seeing and old love.I forgot how much I miss her.  But if she had looked that good.I might have never traded her off.  Play it good health. PS. I have somewhere a few pix of what it originally looked like.Nice refurbish job. |

That really is a great looking steel. I bet that's one guitar you won't see up for sale for a few decades!
All the best
