Add to Compare1978 Franklin OM Brazilian/German
Nick Kukich has been building Franklin guitars since the early 70’s. We have been consistently impressed with the tone of his instruments, and the high build quality. His instruments have big, clear authentic voices and are always inspiring to play. This 1978 Franklin OM guitar, crafted from Brazilian Rosewood and German Spruce, has a terrific prewar tone and power to spare.

This Fraulini guitar was custom made for a local pro player here in Asheville. This guitar is a blues hound with vintage vibe and small body honk that’s perfect for blues, rags, etc. Todd Cambio makes Fraulini guitars based on the classic designs of the early Twentieth Century makers like Oscar Schmidt, Lyon & Healy, Larson Brothers, Regal, Tonk Brothers, etc. His guitars are used by Paul Geremia, Alvin Youngblood Hart and Ari Eisinger. This one is a short 24.5″ scale with wide 1 7/8″ nut and will surely appeal to any lover of Parlor guitars.

The late Gustav Fredell, former apprentice of Ervin Somogyi, was a gifted luthier who we lost too soon. We don’t often get to see his instruments on the used market, so we’re proud to be able to offer this M model in Higuerilla Rosewood and Bearclaw Spruce. This trim 00 is a little over three pound light, and boasts a heady bass response to belt it out. Laminated nut and saddle, Gustav’s uniquely hollowed out headstock design, and sturdy EVO frets. This 2013 Fredell has an impressive projection by any measure, especially so with a smaller body air cavity.

Add to Compare2005 Daniel Friederich Concert Classical, Indian Rosewood/Cedar
Famed French builder Daniel Friderich requires no introduction here. This particular example of his work comes to us from his late period in 2005 with Cedar top over Indian Rosewood back and sides, 650mm scale, and an orchestrally pianisitic voice. This Concert Classical weighs in under four pounds, in part from the thin and resonant french polish finish throughout. Fifth and seventh fret side dot position markers are a nod to modernity, but elsewhere this Friederich is a classic Classical, including a full neck profile with U-shaped carve, fan bracing, and Rodgers tuners. Comes in a custom carbon fiber flight case.

Add to Compare1971 Friederich Concert Classical, Indian Rosewood/French Spruce
A gorgeous example of Daniel Friederich’s Concert model from 1971, this Classical is adorned with French Spruce on top from the Juras Mountains (the first log that Friederich purchased for himself) and Indian Rosewood back and sides. A shorter scale setup of 640mm scale adds warmth and color; Spanish Cedar neck keeps the build weight down at 3lbs 9oz. French Polish throughout.

Add to Compare2019 Lorenzo Frignani, Indian Rosewood/Italian Spruce
The Italian voice of lutherie is strong, indeed, if this 2019 Classical from Lorenzo Frignani is any indication. We were immediately struck by the power and presence of the voice, paired with a lively bass register and a lovely mixture of roundness and precision in the trebles. The Italian Spruce top (from the Val di Fiemme, rumored to be the valley where Stradavarius harvested his timbers) responds handsomely to a range of attacks, offering up a wide dynamic palette of colors depending on the piece. Indian Rosewood back and sides pair it up with Rosewood bindings, Alessi tuners at the headstock, and a Spanish Cedar neck with gorgeous light flame for a touch of drama. A high gloss French Polish finish lets all these woods shine at their best, and this Classical weighs in at a slim playing weight of just over three pounds.
