Sound Pure's Take
A masterful instrument, from materials to construction to tonality! The Master Grade Red Spruce and Old Growth Cocobolo create a towering mountain of sound--strike an open chord and it roars out of the soundhole filling small and large spaces alike. But what good is projection without personality? M.J. Franks' has that covered, too. The treble range sparkles like running water under noonday sun, the midrange is articulate and balanced, the bass as sonorous and deep as old church bells. Simple and honest playing is rewarded with a 3-Dimensional response, whether you be strumming your way through an old favorite or picking out a new melody in the moment. Really, this level of quality should come as no surprise given the materials and craftsmanship--the price, however, is a jaw-dropper! Call us up before someone snaps out of their stupor and into possession of this stunning Dreadnought!
From M. J. Franks Guitars
Traditional Dreadnought shape with forward-shifted, scalloped bracing offering a huge bottom end and room filling presence. Crystal clear trebles and open mid-range. The ideal instrument for flat picking and light to hard strumming, this guitar will please the bluegrass picker, worship leader and entertainer alike.
