Sound Pure's Take

While this guitar has sold, we always have a new Franks Brazilian guitar in stock or on order. Be sure to call or email for more info on the amazing value that Franks brings for a fantastic Brazilian Rosewood backed acoustic.

A fantastic dread from Mike Franks. It has an amazingly full and balanced sound. This is the biggest cannon on our wall!
