Description Brand: Framus Size: Full Size String Configuration: 6 String Model Year: 1950s Body Color: Black Rose Country/Region of Manufacture: Germany Body Type: Hollow Soundboard Style: Archtop Model: Billy Lorento Body Colour: Black Rose Dexterity: Right-Handed Right-/ Left-Handed: Right-Handed
Very clean Framus Billy Lorento with rare Grimshaw vibrato unit. The action is low and the finish is amazingly nice. I believe the finish is known as Black Rose. The Grimshaw gives a Bigsby like effect. The guitar plays well and has great natural resonance. There's one catch - the back pickup needs resoldered. If you're not confident to do it yourself (I'm not) send it to Aaron Armstrong, Kent Armstrong's son, he's great. I didn't get around to doing it and now trying to shift some stuff prior to moving. The pickups are good and twangy. There;s a great Youtube vid to demonstrate if you search. Welcome to come and check it out. I can also ship it.
