Framus golden Strato de Luxe 5/168-54gl – 1964 German Vintage electric Guitar / Gitarre

This is the famous and rare "Strato de luxe gl" Modell by the german luthier Framus. Framus produced fine quality instruments during the golden age of german guitars in the 1950s to 1980s. Their guitars are known worldwide for their excellent quality and unique designs. The Modell "Strato de luxe" is one of their rarest and most beloved electric guitars by fans. This is one of the more "extravagant" variants of the strato de luxe. There where variants with less switches and knobs and less possibilitys to customize the sound. There where also silver variants of the guitar, but the golden one is way more rare.

This guitar was manifactured in 1964. It is plated with two chromed metalplates and a sunburst finish. It also has the organ-lever wich was built in on some versions.

The guitar is in very good condition for its age. The laquer has a few damaged spots, as you can see in the pictures, but its really not that much. The neck might need shimming. The two metalplates are free from bigger scratches or dents and are super clean! The whole electronic is working and all the switches and potis dom, what they should. All 3 pickups produce a lound and clear sound too. The tuners aren't rusted or dried up and are at full function. The frets where polished, the fretboard got oiled and the strings are new too!
