I'm a big Franklin Fan, but I'd never seen a Franklin Guitar live  |

Duane,
I don't have a Franklin, but knowing the reputation of Paul Sr. , it has to be a first class guitar. I have a CLR,S12 that Charles Reece put together for me, a fine guitar, plays, and sounds great, looks pretty good too.(real wood)

Here we go guys...
These are the pictures that Jerry sent me of his model 84 Franklin D-10.
I mean just look at the quality here... Straight and really flush linkages, center-pull bell cranks, and even the nice curves in the parts... Yeah, this is bound to be a really nice guitar - no question about it in my mind.[This message was edited by Duane Reese on 22 October 2005 at 06:40 PM.] [This message was edited by Duane Reese on 22 October 2005 at 06:42 PM.] |

Looks like my late 82 D-10 (S/N 65).
I have the LKV that isn't on the one shown. |

| What are the advantages of having the round crossrods, as opposed to the square or octagonal ones? |

| It probably depends on how the bellcranks mount - perhaps none... Or maybe you can change the angle easier...(?) [This message was edited by Duane Reese on 23 October 2005 at 01:45 PM.] |

| Mine is a 93 and Paul Sr. ground one side of the cross rods so the bell crank screw would stay tightened and not slip as opposed to the earlier style cross rods. Just a head's up. [This message was edited by Steve Raulston on 23 October 2005 at 05:22 PM.] |

My 82 has never had a problem with the pullers loosening or moving.
However, I had a lot of problems with that on my old 71 PP Emmons. And the Emmons had a flat side on the cross rods.
But, the difference could be that less force is needed for the changer pull rods on the Franklin. |

I love mine but not the easiest to work on. The cross rods have to be removed to add/remove rod pullers because they have a hole not a slot.
