Wunderschöne Framus "Studio" 5/51 Jazz-Gitarre von 1969

guitarz.blogspot.com:

Here's a cool archtop acoustic from 1960s Germany, namely a Framus Studio 5/51. It has a number of idiosyncratic features, such as the bolt-on neck (not uncommon on European-made acoustics of this era, see for instance the Italian-made Eko Ranger series and the Eros-branded copies of the same). More noticeably, and perhaps quite oddly, it features only a single f-hole, giving it a strangely asymmetrical appearance. The seller claims that "the model is known and loved for its super easy playability and clear, twangy tone." It certainly appears to be in very nice condition judging by these photographs.

Currently listed on eBay.de with a very reasonable-sounding Buy It Now price of €199.

guitarz.blogspot.com: When I say "Modern" I don't mean that this guitar is an uptodate contemporary instrument, but rather it is actually a vintage 1960s Italian-made guitar badged with the "Modern" brandname. Of course, Italian guitars of this era...

- Framus Super Strato In San Diego For $325
I am not a huge fan of Framus electrics but this one is very nice and it is an excellent deal. The Framus pickup is a good design with excellent tonal qualities.
