Franklin (Nick Kukich) guitar value?
I'm looking for a ballpark value for my 1981 Franklin dreadnought (Brazilian B&S - correct me if I'm wrong). There aren't many or any to reference in my searches! I will be putting it up for sale once I can establish a value.

Wow, that's a beauty! You should contact Nick - he may or may not be able to help you establish a fair price, but I'm sure he would love to know it's available.

Hi AGnut...
Take a bunch of very good clear well lit pictures covering all areas of the guitar, front, back, sides, neck, headstock, back of headstock...literally all areas, and make contact with Gruhn's Guitars, and Mass Street Music, and ask them about doing a basic appraisal off of your pictures. I imagine there would be some charge for this...BUT...you will get a very accurate fair market valuation that will be respected and accepted by potential buyers. Also do the same with Nick Kukich...Franklin Guitars, but from him you want to find out what the current new build price would be...not...current used market price...leave that price to Gruhn's and Mass Street. Superb guitar you have there...it will be an easy sale! duff Be A Player...Not A Polisher

Google search found nothing... the Franklin Guitar website mentions dreadnoughts as an option. I sent Nick an email last week regarding this guitar. Haven't heard back. The site states "Serious enquiries may phone 573-698-3210" but I don't know if this warrants bothering the gentleman.

I don't want to bother the guy, but... I'd sure love to know more about the guitar. Maybe he would like to hear from me about #300?

Nick takes his work very personally, from what I gather having talked to him, and he would be delighted to hear about an old friend! Nick is now here in Portland Oregon by the way. duff Be A Player...Not A Polisher

Hey Duff! I phoned the number on the website and it's not in service. You wouldn't happen to know his new number?
