Framus S-355 1974

I'm offering my 1974 Framus S-355 for sale. The S-355 (also known as the 5/355) was Framus's interpretation of a Stratocaster from the early to mid-1970s and, at the time, an affordable alternative to the original. Today, it's a rare instrument and part of the legendary era of German guitar makers. This model is in excellent condition, nearly complete, and of interest to both collectors and players. Here are the details:

Condition:

The electronics work perfectly. The finish on the body and neck shows signs of age (as does the hardware, see photos), and the frets show significant wear (but the guitar is still playable). Overall, this guitar is in very good condition and almost complete with all original parts, which is rare for this model. The previous owner blocked the vibrato system with a cork, and I don't know if the spring is still there, hence the description "nearly complete."
