Framus Billy Lorento De Luxe Black Rose 1950s

The Framus Billy Lorento De Luxe Black Rose has a Spruce Top, Maple Back and Sides, 3 Piece Maple Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, Ebony Bridge, 2 x Single Coil Pickups, Incl. Non Original Hard Case.

This Framus is a great looking guitar with plenty of character. There is a fair amount of lacquer checking all over but nothing untoward for a guitar of its age. One of the string ferrules is missing, as is one of the strap buttons, but is otherwise original. There is a fair amount of tarnishing on the hardware, particularly the pickguard. The guitar comes in a non original Gibson Hard Case.
