Framus Texan 5 String Banjo 1970's - Made in West Germany

This is a very nice Framus 5 string banjo that was called the Texan. This great banjo has a resonator and a very cool decorative flange , as well as a Remo head with the Framus brand on it.  Padded gig bag or chipboard case-your choice.

It has a straight cut headstock that uses a string retainer tree to keep the proper pressure on the strings, it has geared tuners for easy tuning, and it has a typical Framus “superlaminated” neck. It has a Rosewood fingerboard with relatively large frets, a friction type 5 string tuner, and a very cool tailpiece that can take ball end or loop end strings. It uses a metal dowel and it has an action adjuster at the bottom.

The banjo is in very good condition with some scuffs around the headstock logo. The banjo weighs in at 9 pounds, 8.74 ounces.
