Ken Franklin "Wiley" Custom OM w/Ameritage - $4600
Ken Franklin Wiley
FOR SALE this amazing looking and sounding handmade custom "Wiley" cutaway made in 2007 by small shop luthier Ken Franklin in Ukiah, CA. He makes some of the most gorgeous and playable guitars around in VERY limited quantities and each one is unique. This one is an amazing example in absolutely pristine condition. Comes with top level Ameritage case, Gotoh 510 tuners. Happy to send some sound or video clips of guitar upon request. Lyric pickup in photos is not included. $4600 shipped and paypal Sitka Spruce Top Quilted Sapele Back and Sides Sapele Neck Ebony Fretboard Bois d'Rose Bridge Flame Maple Binding 1 3/4" Nut 2 1/4" Saddle 15 1/4" Lower Bout Gotoh 510 Tuners Solid Linings Double-X Back Braces Very thin and fast “C" neck Here is Ken's own description of the guitar which I've found to be spot on. "This is Wiley. He has a powerful bass voice. I usually build with Italian Spruce. This was a Sitka top, so I wanted to enhance the bass end a little with some extra variation in top thickness, but I didn't expect this! At the Healdsburg Guitar Festival players would come up and drag their fingers across the strings at the soundhole and then step back, not quite believing what they heard. It's a wonderful sound, at home with ragtime and bluegrass. Wiley is just a lot of fun to play. No pretenses."

Incredible silking on that Sitka top. Wow... The back is not too shabby either!
