M.J. Franks knows how to pull off a powerful projection with balance across the registers—and all in an easy-playing OM package. This Herringbone OMS comes to us from 2006, has opened up sweetly, and is dressed to the nines with jaw dropping tonewoods. This Brazilian Rosewood is heirloom grade, beautifully wave figure throughout, and Adirondack Spruce on top with tight grain to boot. Tight herringbone trim on top and ringing in the rosette, plus a tight zigzag backstrip to tie together this classic, American traditional aesthetic.

I’ve known Mike Franks for many years. He builds a wonderful traditional-style instrument. This OM guitar has a lovely set of Brazilian Rosewood, paired in that classic way with Adirondack Spruce. The feel is great.
Bright top end pairs up sweetly with a meaty midrange on this M.J. Franks OMS. Mike pulled out all the stops on dramatically figured Brazilian Rosewood and super tight-grained Adirondack Spruce on top.
