Description
This 5-string open back banjo made in Germany by Framus ca. 1975 or later is in great conditionIt was obviously a custom made instrument for an individual as it is not included in Hans-Peter Wilfers book - Framus Vintage and it has no serial number
Some features resemble the Framus Old Time Banjo Series
But maybe someone knows more.
Features are:
- laminated, and therefore extremely sturdy neck (broader than any standard banjo neck width)
- Schaller tuners (2 Keith tuners)
- Oettinger tailpiece for fine tuning
- Framus easy to apply action adjustment
- frets in excellent condition - no wear
- beautiful inlays on fretboard
- heavy Gibson-style tone ring
- 24 brackets
- Steel flange surround with beautiful ornaments
One small flaw: small hole at the height of 9th fret. Can be easily filled with liquid wood
Comes with a sturdy case
From my point of view, this instrument is a real collectors gem
