Initially renowned for his development of OM and Jumbo models, Nick Kukich was dedicated to crafting guitars that resembled the dreamy pre-war instruments he had grown familiar with. This example from 1981 is an outlier for Franklin at the time. Not only is a left-handed model inherently rare, in the early 80's Nick was not known for his Dreadnought builds. That means that this is a particularly rare and interesting model, crafted with a stunning Sitka Spruce top and Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. This instrument is resonant and bold in its sound while holding a great level of clarity found in some of the best herringbone dreadnoughts. This guitar has received a neck set.

Comes with the original hard shell case
