Congratulations!!!

I own a 00-12 by Mike Franks and used to have a 0000-D. Both are stellar, and I'm sure yours is no different. Franks guitars have fabulous attention to detail, clean workmanship, and outstanding tone. To my ear they surpass the Martins and Gibsons they are modeled on (vintage guitars aside--there is no replacement for decades of play), probably because Mike spends so much time selecting wood and working with its characteristics--time a factory build doesn't receive. Enjoy!

Really classic-looking guitar!

Now get a better camera so we can really see how beautiful it is...
