An aviator, musician and engineer, Mike Franks is a man who love to work with his hands. His many years of honing his chops as a woodworker are evident in this guitar, as it is absolutely flawless in its construction, fit and finish. This 28 style M.J. Franks OM-D (for Deep Body) is handsomely made, each and every part fitting into a harmonious whole. The dark East Indian Rosewood and Adirondack (Red) Spruce on this guitar give it ample headroom and a voice that sings better and better the harder you drive it. With nice, even playability and a sweet setup, this guitar will stop you in your tracks and have you lost in hours of music before you even know it.
Man! M.J. Franks knows how to build one heck of a guitar. This thing has a big, open voice and handled everything I threw at it with style, from Celtic to Blues and more. Really glad to have the opportunity to get to see this guitar from a maker I hadn't previously had the chance to try. 
I had never played one of these guitars before and I must say I was really impressed. The tone is rich and full, yet clear and precise, much like the best of the vintage OMs. And, it is set up perfectly. I would buy this one in a second. | Scale Length | 25.38 in |
