SOLD: Francis Milsom "J-45 Look Alike"
What's Hot
An absolutely stunning guitar and Francis' most recent build. It is pretty much brand new, with only a few hours of home play since it was built. I've only owned it for a month and really love it. I just found out I am losing my job, so sadly the last-in-first-out rule applies!
The guitar sounds and looks amazing and the Celtic inlay work is really lovely. The combo of sitka x cherry b&s produces a deep clear sound and the birdseye maple neck is fast and comfortable to play. I think this guitar will make someone really happy
Francis' guitars represent a phenomenal value for a single-luthier built UK instrument and likely *should* be going for 2-3x more than Francis sells them for. I am just looking for what I paid, which is
£750 and includes a matching brand-new Gator Journeyman hard case.
