MJ Franks L-00 modified
After buying too many guitars I decided to have Mike Franks build one. I wanted a bit of inlay, but subtle. I wanted walnut, satin finish. And a small guitar and so on. As Goldilocks would say, “this is just right.”
It’s an L-00 shape with lighter OM style bracing, a European spruce top, and tortoise binding. The workmanship and sound are both perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing, and Mike is great to work with. He was so much help in the process at understanding what I wanted and in making helpful suggestions. So here are some pictures.

Never flashy but a treasure to behold. Last edited by Psfam; 03-18-2022 at 07:15 AM.
