Description
Nick Kukich, the luthier behind Franklin Guitars, has been crafting his own handmade guitars in the Martin style for five decades. In the 1970s he was one of the first luthiers reviving the pre-war OM, and here we have one from 1981. Simply put, it is a joy to play this fabulous sounding guitar. It truly represents the best elements of both the OM design and Brazilian rosewood. For lead playing and strumming, it has a big dynamic range and can be driven hard, and it takes to drop tunings like a dream. Despite a replaced nut and a repaired center seam top crack, this guitar is in excellent condition, showing moderate signs of wear. Comes with a non-original 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.
