Four String Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Hello all! I am appealing to all those who may know the value of a 4-string Framus-Werke guitar. The neck is straight, but the body is splitting very superficially. The inside tag says: Framus-Werke Model: 515 (or 575, it is handwritten) Serial No: 11789 Made in Bavaria Germany. I have a chance to buy it for $50 from the local Salvation Army, but do not know if the value is right or if I should not have stepped out of the store without it in my hands. Thanks!!!! Cathie Quote
Brian Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Hi Cathie and welcome to the forum Some famous people have owned Framus-Werke guitars or guitars refinished in their factory, you might have a very good find there! Take a look at some of these links Quote
Four String Posted February 25, 2004 Author Report Posted February 25, 2004 Thanks, Brian! I am sitting home right now wondering if I should have just gotten it. I did a Google and only two pages were returned--the second all in German. The cashier said lots of people looked at it last week, so maybe I'll be down there when they open in the morning. If anything, the narrow neck felt pretty cool and different, and that's good for me. Quote
pickleweaseler Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 My grandfather has an old Framus classical. It has flame maple back and sides. It is the only classical guitar I've played that I didn't hate. Quote
