About

Franklin Guitar Works - Who we are

FGW is a division of MIRC, LLC (Musical Instrument Reclamation Corporation), located in Franklin TN.  MIRC is the world’s largest refurbisher of stringed instruments.  We partner with the leading manufacturers in the industry, helping them recondition their distressed instruments. All of our instruments have been inspected, set up and refurbished by our certified technicians to ensure you are receiving a quality instrument. 

Why does this guitar have “used” on the back of the headstock? 

Sometimes the word "used" is lightly pressed into the back of the headstock and/or the serial number may be partially altered per manufacturer agreements.  For many, the "used" stamp is looked at as a sign of quality, giving confidence that a used instrument originating from MIRC has been properly set-up and refurbished by a professional tech.
