Frank Brothers Arcade Olive Drab w/G&G HSC
Honestly, someone needs to invent new words to properly describe each and every Frank Brothers we receive here. Let me give it a go...if the description is no good, check out the description below and that will tell the story.
This Arcade was spec'd by Mike as a build that won't break the bank, but still be every bit a Frank Brothers...See, typically he can go a little crazy with the options and upgrades which lands most of these well north of the $6k range (and still worth every penny). This has a couple upgrades (Custom Color, Binding, Bareknuckle Mules, and Split Parallelogram Inlays) and we are able to keep the number much lower. The guitar plays great, it sounds great, and it looks...well...amazing.
