Thanks for posting the brochure! What year is it from? Nick surely must have been one of the earliest "Boutique" luthiers. There was also Stuart Mossman, whose Mossman guitars got going around the same time; Gurian, of course and I'm sure there were some others. Without the internet, it was difficult in those years learn about these builders, other than word of mouth. I first read about Franklin guitars in the introduction to one of Stefan Grossman's guitar books.
