Up for sale is a rare and hard to find FRAMUS Strato 6 10230 vintage electric guitar. It was made sometime between 1973 and 1975 in West Germany. This guitar has a maple fretboard and a stunningly beautiful sunburst finished flamed maple body. It is in really good working condition with very little cosmetic wear. There is only a small chip in the finish, a little checking, and a few minor surface scratches and scuffs. See photos for condition. As far as I know, there are only 2 replacement pieces which are the high E string tuning gear and the bridge (originally roller-style), which work nice and can most likely be replaced cheaply and easily. There is also a missing knob decal, which is an easy fix (but of course doesn't hinder function). Depending on your playing style or preference, a setup or adjustment may be in order, but that's almost always the case. Also, a little electronic cleaner spray could be used to clean up the volume control, which is a bit scratchy. It comes with a heavy duty, very padded, nicely fitting "Mint Bags" brand gig bag. I can't stress enough how cool this guitar is. If you're looking for a unique offset vintage guitar with the look like a Fender Jaguar but with controls like a Gibson Les Paul or SG combined with a tremolo like a Bigsby, this guitar is right up your alley. The flamed maple body and sunburst finish are simply stunning. The knobs and switches are nice and tight and this guitar has been well taken care of over the 40 plus years of it's existence. As you probably know, products made in Germany are know worldwide for their quality and remarkable craftsmanship. I can't stress enough how difficult it is to find one of these for sale. I've been trying for years to find another Strato 6 for sale or having been sold, and I've come across none whatsoever. This is one of those guitars where "if you're fortunate enough to find one, you need to buy it". I've been seeing the much more common Strato guitars selling for over $1,200 so I'm gonna price mine for a much more attractive price. I normally wouldn't even consider selling this, but it's that time if the year (holidays) when I need to drum up some money. So here's a rare opportunity to own a gorgeous piece of vintage guitar history. It will be sent with strings loosened in the gig bag within a box with padding and will arrive in condition as seen in photos provided,-Comes from the smoke-free, dog-free, child-free home of a serious adult collector and musician.-I take pride in fast and safe shipping and handling. I usually ship the same day as payment is received when possible.-Check out my many other vintage guitars and collectibles for sale.All my items are sold "as is" and should arrive in condition as pictured. I am not a guitar expert, appraiser, tech, or luthier. I do not work on, repair, set up, or repair guitars. I leave that kind of work up to the professionals. I do my very best to describe all my items as honestly as I can and to the very best of my abilities. I charge a fixed or flat rate for shipping and HANDLING due to the unpredictable nature of fluctuating shipping costs, balloon rates, packaging materials, fuel costs, and varying destinations. I have shipped countless guitars all around the world with no problems whatsoever. Thank you very much for your valuable time and interest in my item. Happy bidding, good luck, and of course, take care.
