Franchin Guitars is an Italian boutique guitar manufacturer founded by Mattia Franchin in 2016. The instruments are built in the company’s workshop in Monticello Conte Otto near Vicenza, Italy. Each guitar is individually finished and aged, while Franchin pickups are hand-wound in-house. Customization and individually specified builds are an important part of the brand’s philosophy.
The Mars is Franchin’s interpretation of the classic T-style bolt-on guitar – simple, direct and firmly rooted in traditional electric guitar tones. The Classic Relic version uses nitrocellulose lacquer and individually handcrafted aging, making every instrument visually unique.

2026 Franchin Guitars Mars – Butterscotch Blonde – Light Relic
Franchin Guitars is an Italian boutique guitar manufacturer founded by Mattia Franchin in 2016. The instruments are built in the company’s workshop in Monticello Conte Otto near Vicenza, Italy. Each guitar is individually finished and aged, while Franchin pickups are hand-wound in-house. Customization and individually specified builds are an important part of the brand’s philosophy.
The Mars is Franchin’s interpretation of the classic T-style bolt-on guitar – simple, direct and firmly rooted in traditional electric guitar tones. The Classic Relic version uses nitrocellulose lacquer and individually handcrafted aging, making every instrument visually unique. The Mars is available in the traditional two-single-coil SS configuration used here.
This particular example comes in timeless Butterscotch Blonde with a nitro finish, Light Relic treatment and additional paint cracking. The black single-ply pickguard, maple fingerboard and aged chrome hardware create a very classic T-style appearance.
The body is made from two-piece American Alder, paired with a maple neck and maple fingerboard. A comfortable C profile, 9.5″ radius, 22 Jumbo frets and bone nut combine traditional geometry with a slightly more modern playing feel.
Two Franchin Alnico 5 Staggered hand-wound pickups provide the sound. The bridge pickup delivers the direct, dynamic character expected from this style of guitar, while the chrome-covered neck pickup offers a warmer and rounder voice. Franchin winds its pickups entirely by hand following vintage-inspired specifications.
A Gotoh Vintage Style bridge and Gotoh tuners complete the specification, with relic treatment matching the aged character of the guitar.
