Here it is folks, a first run of Paul Franklin Sr. back in very late '70s.
Paul Franklin built this pedal steel with his hand wound Pickups; that you’ll only find on these early ones(if you EVER find a Franklin for sale)this is the 42nd one he built out of around a total of 300 ever..
This is a Flat Black and almost still in showroom perfection as it just was Hardly played through the years(that’s why there’s a little dust on the steel…ha..and I haven't wiped everything off to perfection yet; but you know me...ha..).
Double 10 with 8 pedals and 4 knee levers and if you buy it; I will personally set up the exact copedent you want.
Sending Check that clears or money order; is preferred. We can discuss Paypal or other possibilities.
First one that commits 10,042.00 US dollars to me first, and I accept; WINS one of the Rarest opportunities to own the finest hand built Franklin Pedal steel, built by THE MAN,
Paul Franklin Sr.
Here’s the pics:
I have more pics if needed.
First email commitment to me at sshawaiian@austin.rr.com , Gets it set up for them and packed and shipped by me as soon as money clears.

You're right Wally. Even Paul Franklin Sr. was amazed at the finding of this particular one and said it was kept in amazing shape. It plays and sounds out of this world.

A Franklin is offered for sale>somebody complains about the price>the price is discussed>eventually B0b deletes posts not relevant to the actual sale of the instrument>
Another Franklin is offered for sale>somebody complains about the price> and on and on. At least half a dozen cases so far 
no offence to anyone intended....

It's not my Franklin. My "REGRET" would be my steel guitar brothers and sisters on here; NOT getting a chance at a once in a lifetime Franklin; is why it's on here now.
So if ya feel Froggy; ya better jump..ha.

Split tuners can be put on ALMOST any all pull guitar using the "extra rod" method. I don't see the splits behind the changer on this one. And, even if you HAD to have the splits at the changer, I would think that could be done.

Allen; yes it does split tune.
I can and will set it up however the buyer wants this 8ped and 4 knee to play.
This is the current set up.
All the floors, E9 and C6 are standard setup......
Left knee Left----------Raises 4 and 8 a half step-
Left knee right------------Lowers 2 a half step and a whole step and lowers 9 a half step.
Right Knee left----------Lowers 4 and 8 a half step..........and lowers the 3rd string on the C6 a half step.
Right knee Right--------Raises 1 a full step and raises 7 a half step.

For many years I've been solid in the push pull camp and reluctant to try anything else. Earlier this year a Franklin D10 came my way and I was blown away. Smooth, easy to play, stays in tune, sustain, BIG tone, all the attributes one seeks in a great PSG. So if you are considering this Franklin, don't hesitate, jump in, you won't regret it for a single moment.
One other thing, these are not the easiest guitars to work on. The fact Ricky is offering to put your setup on this guitar is a HUGE value.
Just do it! |

SOLD
This once in a lifetime chance to own #42 Franklin is over. It was bought by a gentleman that spent 7500 bux on a Franklin several months ago....So he certainly knew what this chance is all about; being a Franklin owner; and simply did NOT let this pass him by.
