This is a great rock guitar: Seymour Duncan humbuckers (a 59 at the neck and a JB at the bridge) and a solid mahogany body with a beautiful 20mm bookmatched maple cap. The neck is a comfortable trademark Framus Ovangkol with a flat ebony fretboard with jumbo frets which in a break with tradition for this type of guitar is a bolt on. The hardware is all chrome plated with Framus locking tuners for stability. Electronics are controlled with a 3 way selector and one volume and one tone for a simple no-nonsense approach. The maple cap and bolt on construction clearly give this guitar plenty of bite but with enough depth for some crunching rock tones. One nice feature on this guitar is that the volume control is perfectly placed for violining - try that on a Les Paul. Comes with padded gigbag.

Another eye-catching guitar from Framus with a superb Black High Polish finish on the maple top. This is a through neck semi hollow guitar made of maple with a sycamore neck and an ebony fingerboard. What can't be denied here is that this is a heavy guitar but somehow this weight seems to reflect the quality of its construction. The way the neck 'joins' the body is beautifully curved and allows easy acess to all the 24 frets and the top is beautifully carved catching the light from all angles. Two Seymour Duncan '59 pickups have been used here for vintage tone but the construction here lends the humbucker sound incredible clarity and presence. The 6 -way selector switch gives you a wide range of tones: Both humbuckers, neck humbucker, inner coils, bridge humbucker, outer neck and inner bridge coils out of phase and both humbuckers out of phase. All are full rounded, musical and useful settings without any harshness or thinness. The construction of this guitar lends it a loud resonant tone even unplugged and plenty of sustain. If you want a great looking guitar with a versatile range of tones then you must try this. Comes with hard case.
