Mike Franks has done it again–this 2015 Legend OM-D Deep Body Orchestra Model is a triumph of tone, playability, and, projection. Set up smooth as glass, this OM is a delight to play Bluegrass tunes on, or Texas ballads; a great guitar for the solo Americana singer-songwriter. Flatpicking brings out the rumble in the bass for sure, but the setup accomodates fingerpicking just as easily without losing sustain.
One look at this gorgeous Bearclaw Adirondack Spruce top and you’ll know how this guitar lives up to its “Legend” model designation–and it’s paired with some serious, straight-grained Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides. The voice is clean and clear and well-balanced for both chord accompaniment and solos that can cut through the mix. Another dynamite guitar from M.J. Franks–this one’s a keeper.
Mike's got a great eye for the traditional vibe. The balanced tone and quick response on this guitar make for an exciting experience while playing, like the guitar's a mustang raring to go as soon as you pull out the saddle. 
The small profile neck on this guitar would be perfectly suited to anyone with smaller hands. The response and balance are superb. | Scale Length | 25.38 in |
