2007 Franklin Guitars Jumbo - Acoustic Guitar
Franklin Guitars, built by Nick Kukich, are very highly regarded. They only come up for resale occassionally and this one is a gem. Here we have a Jumbo from 2007 in premium Brazilian Rosewood and Old German Spruce built from the ground up for tone. The top is Master Grade and French Polished to allow for maximum energy. The Brazilian is perfectly well-quartered again for ultimate tone. The Jumbo body is very alive and makes this a very fun guitar to play. You get a lot of output with very little effort, and you can also conjur up some serious volume when you wish. We are delighted to have a recent Franklin Guitar of this caliber for our clients.

Player Reviews:
"I've had the chance to play many Franklin Guitars over the years so I can tell you this one is special. The woods are out of this world. Perfect grain, color and sound. I'm a big fan of French Polish tops and have several in my own collection. It's a very thin finish that allows for all the energy to be realized. This Franklin Jumbo is very well crafted. I really like the truss rod access from the tip of the headstock, very cool. Franklin fans, don't miss this one." - Paul Heumiller
