Framus Television model electric guitar in NYC for $350
I don't see many of these Framus electric guitars show up on CL so I wanted to point this one out. These are interesting electrics and the construction quality is quite good. They were made "on the edge of the Black Forest" in Germany in the 1960's and use complex multi-laminate construction. Norman's Rare Guitars in LA has offered several Framus electric models over the years and he always stressed how well made they were - though like most European electrics the wiring can be a bit eccentric. that may be why the seller indicates this one needs to be rewired. The inclusion of the vibrato arm is a big plus because you can go crazy trying to locate the correct arm for one of these.
