Frank Brothers Thinline Acrade Heavy Relic Sonic Blue over Nicotine w/HSC

This, like every other guitar made in their Toronto workshop, is beyond words, description, and accolades. Each and every Frank Brothers Guitar is built to impossible standards seldom seen or approached by any other builder in the world today. What you get is a true, heirloom piece both equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in your basement. Here at Relic Music, we are proud to be the only shop that carries this incredible line of guitars. 

Another completely spectacular build from our friends at Frank Brothers, this Arcade showcases the beauty of Macassar Ebony as well as Swamp Ash and Maple. Utilizing book-matched Macassar Ebony, Swamp Ash, and Maple, this incredibly special one-off is a true show-stopper.
