Franchin Classic Relic Mercury Thinline

In 2016 Mattia Franchin gives birth to Franchin Guitars, a project born from the blend of his two great passions, art and music. With artistic training himself, he soon surrounds himself with a team of artists of the Fine Arts Academy of Venice, as well as with technician luthiers.

The brand distinguishes itself from the beginning for the quality of their metallic-leaf finishes (also in the relic version), which are still today the true emblem of the brand.

Today we build musical instruments and accessories decorated with various artistic techniques, from metallic leaf to hand-drawing. But we also do classic relic nitro finishes, including replicas of famous instruments, like John Mayer’s Black1 and Jimmy Hendrix’s Monterey.
