I am so excited for the latest episode of the Guitar Gavel podcast as we journey to Italy and have a tour of Franchin Guitars.
A special thanks to Mattia Franchin and Pierantonio Cantoni for their excellent tour!
In the show Mattia gives a full tour of the company’s “lab” and walks us step-by-step through the build process.
Franchin specializes in reliced and hand painted bodies to complete guitar builds hand assembled by their luthier team including custom wound pickups engineered in-house.
Some of the most striking guitars we see include gold leaf or bronze leaf which can require 20-25 hours of artistry work on the body alone.
To compliment the guitars Franchin offers custom Italian leather cases and leather straps. You may find their work online from the company’s website, www.franchinguitars.com, or via their Reverb and Ebay storefronts.
I think you will love this episode and the rare insight behind a boutique guitar builder rooted in art. Thanks for listening!
