Description
The 1980 Franklin Guitar Co. OM is a meticulously handcrafted orchestra model built by Nick Kukich, renowned for his vintage-inspired designs. Featuring a solid spruce top and Koa back and sides, this guitar delivers a rich, balanced tone with exceptional clarity and responsiveness. Its comfortable OM body size and smooth-playing neck make it a superb choice for both fingerstyle and flatpicking. With over four decades of aging, the wood has matured beautifully, enhancing its warmth, resonance, and dynamic range. A rare and sought-after instrument, this Franklin OM exemplifies masterful craftsmanship and timeless tone. For the full repair history, check out the Specs tab. Incudes a Calton hardshell case.
*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
