Yeah, I do like my little Maverick, and even though its not limiting my abilities at this point , I wanted to get a contemporary steel that was a better quality. Readily available parts, and maybe a lil easier to play as I progressed.
Man, I tell ya though, been practicing every day, changing chord grips working the pedals, trying to work on some blocking too.....Got My Winnie Winston book today , and starting to look at that as well. Its a real mind bender though, when you see how well people can play, I been at it one week. But I'm diggin it!!!
So I got this off Reverb, I believe it was sold from this site at one time last year, as I found the old forsale ad here. GFI Expo 'X1'. Anywho, Just sharing. thanks, Mike

| Great little guitar...You might want to get some right angle jack leads for the volume pedal...Looks awkward to me. |

The thing about having more knee levers - you won't use it for months, maybe even years. Then, suddenly, you need it - and after that, you could not do without it. I've been playing for 6 years. Started on E9, 3x4. Tried Uni - just not a good fit for me. So I switched to D10 - with 8 levers. To be honest, in the first two years with the D10 I never used the E9 vetical (drops strings 5 and 10 a 1/2-stop). Then I started working on Buddy Emmon's tune Will's Point - not only did I need it, but I needed to set it up as a split with the A-pedal! I expect before long to find more uses for it now that I've started!

Looks good, well built, great factory support, a guitar that will last you a lifetime. If I still played pedal, I would have one (although a D-10).

My wife has an Expo S-10 and I've even played it out a couple of times. The stock 3/4 are the same as the 3 pedals and 4 out of 5 knee levers on my Franklin.
One thing I did, that helped, is to move the pedal rod mounting studs on the pedals to the opposite side and then slide the pedals over to the right a little. That puts the pedals and left leg more in line with the left knee levers. |
