Members Faber Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 Tried a Framus Renegade last nioght - basically a tele style w two HBs. Great sounding and playing little thing, and as far as I could tell, well made. What are the general consensus on current Framus guitars? Are they any good? Anything to watch out for?

Round here they go for pretty much the same as a US fender. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StompBoxLover Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 they are by the same company, in the same factory as Warwick basses... so there you go - that's the quality to expect. pretty much the last german instrument manufacturer (producing significant numbers of instruments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faber Posted June 15, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 Duesies are pretty neat as well. Now that I've gotten a job, I might actually have to get me another fiddle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Blinky Jones Posted July 27, 2007 Members Share Posted July 27, 2007 I have a Framus Tennessee Custom. QC is as good as anything I've ever seen or owned, and I've owned a lot of high end guitars. The neck contour isn't a baseball bat or a shredder neck...feels closest to a 60s slim taper, or the necks of my old Tele Jr's. The contour is a medium C-shape. It would be fine for most folks, but it's a bit too small for me due to some fret hand issues I have. Mine has the "arist package" upgrades...which are little more than a flamed maple neck and gold hardware. Art Thompson of Guitar Player magazine compared it favorably to a Hamer Newport Superpro and a PRS Hollowbody. I wish Framus would bring them here through the Warwick distro netwoork. At the current price points, it's a tremendous value for a hand crafted instrument. I've not seen better wood on guitars costing twice as much from Gibson or PRS. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm selling mine. I took a chance on it, but the neck is just a bit too small for me. I have nerve damage in my left hand from a car accident, and the only necks that I can play on now are "baseball bat" sizes. This is more of a medium C, not unlike an SG, LP Classic, or even an American strat/Tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
