A decidedly beautiful with plenty of playing time, this 1987 Franklin has a wonderful tone and incredible playability. The neck is a very slim shape which offers perfect access to every note on the fretboard. Franklin not only highlighted their ability in choosing fine tonewoods, but they also show incredible inlay work with the rosette, binding and backstrip. Recently setup, the guitar plays very well and has a true spruce and rosewood tone that compliments multiple playing styles. The OM is an incredibly popular body size due to its playable size while still projecting impressive volumes. This is a beautiful guitar with scratches throughout and buckle rash which tell the story of time with this guitar. It is always a good sign to see that a guitar was played. Other modifications to the guitar include light fret work, a shimmed nut and cosmetically, some lacquer checking.Comes with a black hardshell case
