Franklin OM 1986

Franklin OM 1986

Made in USA
Serial Number #414

Another beautiful sounding Franklin OM from ’86. Overall in good condition, some minor play wear, all perfectly reasonable for a 40 year old guitar! A very playable and enjoyable OM.

The Franklin OM is styled after the old Martin orchestra model that made such an important contribution to playing styles in the late twenties and early thirties. Besides being the first steel string guitar to incorporate the fourteen fret neck, it was known as one of the best balanced, fullest sounding guitars ever made. Nick has added some structural improvements that we feel make his OM’s one of the very finest guitars available on the market. The hand-carved braces interlock perfectly to give the top just the right degree of freedom to vibrate

Franklin Guitars are the work of master luthier Nick Kukich, who has more than four decades of guitar building experience behind him. He hand carves each neck individually, taking into account playing style, and preference.
