Framus Steelstring, 1968

Texas

A steelstring build in Bavaria Germany. The serial Nr. is 009365 and the Model probably Texas? I do not have often steelstring but I did like to gain some expirience with this guitar. I was damaged and ofccourse is was painted sunburst as usual in that period. If you like to see al the restoration pictures, they are on my web-site. All the parts are original! I was curious what kind of wood was underneeth the paint. The top is made out of two layers ruf and fiune germanspruce. The sides are solid maple. Tha back is made of three layers, two layers mahogany and a maple top. The neck is composed out of 32 layers maple! The construction is a martinlike very strong X brace strutting. As a result of the restoration the guitar has a golden glos an the back is a bobbeld. This almost 40 years old guitar is nicely restored.. The the top had deep scratches from a plectrum and the side and back where damaged. On this guitar Bruunari polish is used. This is an opportunety for somebody to get a very easy playable stellstring guitar which sounds great. The sound is bright with good sustain. Deep basses and clear trebles. It is an wraparround guitar.
