This Franklin twelve string built by Nick Kukich may just be the most exciting twelve string you will ever play. Modeled after the old Stella twelve strings, this Franklin is meant to be tuned down low to a D standard tuning which makes for a great string feel. We have always found a good twelve string to be rejuvenating to a weary six string player, this one will pick you right up and have you writing new songs in a heartbeat. The combination of Mahogany and Sitka Spruce make for a lively tone with plenty of sparkle on those octave and unison strings.
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill 12-string, either: thanks to the metal tailpiece aned floating bridge, this guitar has a more dynamic, mellow voice than its fixed-bridge relatives, because the string tension is distributed more evenly across the top. The result is a 12-string that doesn’t have the bell-like sparkle of a Taylor 12, but instead has a more fully formed fundamental that is easy on the ears and the hands.
This guitar will have you wanting to play Leadbelly tunes in no time flat! It really is a nice change to have a twelve string tuned down, it puts far less tension on the top, really allowing it to open up and sing. The reduced tension also just feels incredible on the fingertips. 
That jangly 12-string sound comes pouring right out of this guitar. It's not as loud as the Guild, but it has some nice character and sparkle. | Scale Length | 26.5 in |
