Markneukirchen, October 2012
Dear Customer,
Framus was founded on January 1st 1946 in Erlangen, Germany, and stands for 60 years of experience and tradition in the craft
of guitar making. During the company’s rich history, Framus was responsible for introducing a large number of innovations to the
market. In the 1960s, the company went on to become the leading guitar manufacturer of all of Europe. Clearly, it was not without
reason that Bill Wyman, Peter Kraus, Bill Lawrence a.k.a. Billy Lorento, Jim all, Attila Zoller, Charles Mingus, Eberhard Weber
and Volker Kriegel all swore by instruments manufactured by Framus.
Our goal for the Framus Vintage series is to make the most interesting vintage models manufactured in the tradition-steeped
Framus factory buildings in Erlbach and Bubenreuth come to life once again. The result is quality instruments crafted in Asia that
are manufactured carbon neutral, and conjure up the classic spirit of Framus once more.
Wherever possible, all Framus models come with hardware and pickups crafted according to original specifications. This results
in an authentic vintage feel, beautiful looks, and of course, true vintage tone. The Framus Vintage series radiates pure vintage cool
for lovers of traditionally-styled guitars originating from the heyday of rock’n’roll and jazz!
We have every reason to be proud of Framus’ rich tradition. Come visit our very own Framus Museum here in Markneukirchen,
which is dedicated to the company’s history, and experience the tradition-steeped spirit of Framus at first hand!
Enjoy your Framus Vintage guitar!
Yours truly,
ans-Peter Wilfer
