About Franklin Guitar Works
At Franklin Guitar Works, we’re dedicated to delivering exceptional value and quality through expertly refurbished guitars. Every instrument we sell has been carefully inspected, professionally serviced, and thoroughly play-tested by a team of experienced guitar technicians—many of whom are working musicians themselves.
As a division of MIRC, the nation’s largest refurbisher of guitars, we’re uniquely positioned to offer a constantly evolving inventory of guitars from many of the most trusted names in the industry. Our strong relationships with leading manufacturers give us access to guitars that were returned for reasons ranging from minor cosmetic blemishes to simple buyer’s remorse. That means we get our hands on amazing instruments—many of which need only small adjustments or repairs to get them stage-ready.
Our Process
Each guitar that enters our shop goes through a detailed inspection and setup process. This may include:
- Fret leveling and polishing
- Truss rod and action adjustment
- Electronics testing and cleaning
- Full intonation and tuning
- String replacement
- Final quality check and play test
Because wood is a living, breathing material, every guitar is given the attention it needs to play its best before it ever reaches your hands. Whether you're a gigging pro, a bedroom player, or shopping for your first instrument, you can buy with confidence knowing your guitar was prepped by experts.
What Makes Us Different
Unlike most retailers, we don’t just take guitars out of boxes and send them to customers. We restore, refine, and optimize every guitar to make sure it performs at its highest potential. And because our inventory is refreshed daily through MIRC’s extensive manufacturer partnerships, you’ll always find something new and unique at franklinguitarworks.com.
Quality You Can Trust
Every guitar we sell at FranklinGuitarWorks.com includes a 1-year warranty, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your purchase. When you shop with Franklin Guitar Works, you're getting more than a guitar—you’re getting the craftsmanship, care, and commitment of a company that stands behind every instrument we touch.
