Framus Florida 5/61 – 1960 German Vintage Archtop Guitar Gitarre / real relic

This is the model "Florida" by „Framus“. Framus was a german luthier, who produced many kinds of instruments during the golden age of german guitarmaking between the 50s and the 80s. Framus was known worldwide for their extraordinary quality and constant innovations when making guitars. This is the reason why people of all skill levels chose Framus guitars as their Instruments, they where easy to play, worth their money, pretty in design and well rounded with the german quality standard. This specific model is a very early archtop model by Framus, made in 1960.

The guitar has some wear it collected over the many years it was played, as you can see in the pictures. The guitar still is fully playable and in otherwise good condition. No cracks, no splits. The tuners turn smoothly and hold the string tension well. The neck is straight, therefore the action is low, so it is very comfortable to play. It sounds very jazzy, perfect for the blues and jazz music of the 50s and 60s. The fretboard was oiled recently and the frets got polished. The strings are new too.

The guitar can be played immediatly.

If you have any questions left, or if you need more pictures, feel free to ask :-)

About shipping:

I ship worldwide with DHL and with the DHL-shipping insurance wich goes up to 500€. I am not going to lie to you or blandish a possible transport risk like some other people do. International shipping can be dangerous and packages are sometimes treated roughly. If you however choose to have an international shipment, I will do my absolute best to protect the guitar. I have collected a lot of experience in the past on how to ship a guitar securely. I will take photos of the packaging and the exact condition of the guitar right before I ship it. You should know, that after shipping the guitar and entering the shipping number, I am not responsible for anything anymore and my job is done. But I will gladly back you up with the insurance case with said photos and exact details in the rare case anything goes wrong. The standart insurance I ship all guitars with is up to 500€. If you want a higher insurance, you can get that, just ask me first.
