Subject: help with info about a Framus guitar
Hello. I'm trying to find some information on an old Framus guitar I have. All I know about it is what's on the label; Framus, Built in the heart of Bavaria, model-SPORT 50/1 L, serial #-245A9, tested by Miller(that is hand written in)-80E, Framus-Werke-Bavaria, Made in Germany. It has a big stamped EX on the label (almost like a watermark) It is a blonde, small bodied 17"Lx12"W at the base (35"L-total), shaped like an 8, acoustic. I don't know to call it a classical or not, but it has steal strings on it. The only info I have is the founder was Alfred Wilfer, company founded in 1946 and went bankrupt in 1975, later to be re-started in 1982. I have had it for about 25 years. Any info would be helpful, like year, what kind of guitar,it's worth. Thanks! Rustic
