2017 Framus® Legacy Acoustic Catalog

Page 1


continues the tradition of handmade instruments that we have used since our beginning in 1946. My personal goal with the Framus Legacy Series is to have the best sounding, high-quality handmade, acoustic guitars which give the players a better sounding instrument at an affordable price. Top quality, playability and sound for the modern acoustic player for today.

“Framus successfully built an incredible, versatile instrument with unlimited potential. Both with finger style or when playing with a pick, whether delicate song accompaniment, open tunings or expressive melody over any positions and volumes, it makes an excellent figure in all disciplines. That certainly is because of the meticulous selection of wood and other components like the handcrafted manufacturing quality in every detail. Above all, the intention of not building just any guitar; they built a guitar with a soul. A very aesthetically pleasing, high-class instrument that goes beyond expectations.�
