Framus D Series Diablo Progressive X, Electric Guitar

Though they’re perhaps better known for being the electric guitar brand owned by Warwick, the Framus legacy is one that stretches back all the way to violin making in the mid-40s.

It was founder Fred Wilfer who cunningly realized that the Sudeten German luthiers expelled from Czechoslovakia following the Second World War could put their skills to use at a rival production base in Franconia (hence the first half of the company’s name).

The 50s rock ’n’ roll revolution saw the electric guitar become their best-seller, and by the mid-60s Framus were the biggest manufacturers in Europe. A decade later, however, the company filed for bankruptcy and lay dormant for two decades until Warwick brought the name back.

As well as usage by members of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in their heyday, Framus instruments have been seen in the hands of contemporary artists including Simple Plan and Funeral For A Friend, with signature models for Alice In Chains’ William DuVall, Bon Jovi’s Phil X and prog-metal mastermind Devin Townsend.

This is a Manufacturer Refurbished Guitar

This guitar is in near like-new mint condition! There is one very tiny scratch on the Floyd Rose fine adjustment screw and a finish blemish next to the bridge pick-up (pictured).

Many of the refurbished guitars that we sell are pretty much flaw free. Any visible or known flaws are outlined in the description and include pictures of the specific flaw. The actual instrument for sale is shown in the photographs. All of our guitars come with a standard factory setup, but may require a small amount of fine tuning to fit your personal taste. In order to prevent false warranty claims, the guitar may be given a new serial number and/or the back of the headstock is lightly stamped "used" by the authorized refurbishing center. These guitars are the next best thing to buying new!
