Franklin Guitar Company
The Six-String Collective
The Six-String Collective is a young UK dealer, launched in 2024 as a home for luthier-built guitars from British and international makers. It works as much like a curated consignment marketplace as a traditional shop — bringing together buyers, sellers, and the luthiers themselves — and its founders came to it from more than a decade in the instrument trade, several of those years at the forefront of the boutique world. The catalog pairs established names like Tom Sands, Lowden, Collings, Santa Cruz, and McPherson with a strong bench of British and European builders — Taran, Ralph Bown, O'Gorman, Oska Burman — several of them low-volume makers whose instruments rarely reach the open market. New and pre-owned instruments sit side by side, with the emphasis on personal service.
