Watch
Why it matters
These guitars are collected as artefacts of a European guitar industry that largely disappeared, and their hardware shares little with modern parts. Framus later became the parent company of Warwick, but the vintage electrics belong to a separate chapter of its history. Prices are set by originality and playability rather than by model name.
Note
Collectible 60s German electrics.
