I aquired it used, stripped of most of it's oroginal goodies in very very poor condition, I can remember I actually haggled the price down from like ??60 to ??40 in a South London pawn shop in 2000.
The neck pickup that was on the guitar rocked! but was not to my flavor, it's a humbucker chrome plated classical sounding pickup.
I had all the work done with Feline Guitars to get it from that to all the extra's I mention in the guitar's description.

Serial # on back of headstock 30429-F60 which I believe is manufactured in 1960. 3 single coils 2 volume 1 tone. 4 way pickup selector. Rosewood fretboard. Original guitar throughout except Non original bridge. Looks sort of like a Les Paul, but it is hollow, made out of what looks like some pine?? Frets are thin and low. My guitar is in very good condition for age.

I usually play rock , grunge , metal. This guitar beautifully does jazz, to drop D metal. It does Gibson SG sounds really well. I just purchased a Gibson Les Paul Supreme and the Framus nails the Angus Young sound much better. Pickups feedback at high distortion.

I have been playing since 1988. This is a guitar I will never sell. I am always looking out for another one.
