Thanks for posting this. I’ve been a collector of 68-72 era Hofner acoustics for a long time. Absolutely love the warm tone. (Almost don’t want to say that out loud... They used to be unknown and cheap...) Just getting into old Framus guitars now. Appreciate this lesson.
I love the Framus jumbo. I have one with that same neck with those same inlays and arched back and it is a prized possession. I play the heck out of it. Love the neck and the body. Amazing. Thank you for sharing your story and some Framus history. I have a Framus Texan that needs a truss rod adjustment and I’m not sure what socket I need to turn it. I ordered a few truss rod wrenches but they haven’t arrived yet. If you would happen to know what socket fits the Framus Texan truss rod please let me know. Thank you.
Thanks for the video, I’m heading to Germany and looking for something a bit unusual to play while I’m there, I’m an Aussie and have a Marin that I love and it also is not a noisy playing guitar but still a beautiful note and super playable with a narrow kneck and beautiful craftsmanship, this looks like my comparable German fguitar so I’ll be hunting one down! Thanks!
I just picked up a Texan 6 string for $300.00 and a 12 String for $200.00. Both sunburst. I can't wait for them to arrive. The 6th sting is going to be my daily driver if it sounds as good as I thin it will. Thanks for the video.
Cool vid. I was poking around a music shop in Olympia, WA one day looking for a guitar... picked up an early 70's Framus Texan and I bought it immediately. Funny, cuz I was looking for a smaller guitar but this one just looked, played and sounded amazing. Built like a tank and yes, it is quiet. But I love it. Have it tuned down 1/2 step right now and it sounds amazing.
Wow that is one nice sounding guitar, you are right. Thanks so much for the history on them I had no idea especially of the war time. Looking at a Amateur 5-1 for sale. I like smaller guitars after watching your vid, will go check it out. only $120 Canadian, don't expect it to be close to yours but that is fine. Thanks again
I have a all blonde except for a fretboard....! Nashville acoustic Framus ...., I believe it is a late 60s or early 70s every inch of it is blonde very pretty guitar it plays real well also....!

Thanks you for discussing Framus. They look like they are truly engineered and "built."
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes😢 As a teenager , I had a beautiful Framus classical with a violin back♥️ sadly mine was stolen. I never found any other guitar that was as nice.

In the summer of 1976 I bought a Framus Nashville jumbo. It was a very good folk guitar. I sold it because of lack of playing time and it’s a shame !
Framus have some real hidden jems... I have a Billy Lorento BL-15 - incredible thinline hollowbody from 1969
Very nice!
