    Description

    This guitar is an extremely rare 1968 Framus S-095 12-String with factory original psychedelic paint. 1 of 2 known to exist, the only other example is in a private collection belonging to Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, and I doubt he'll be selling it any time soon. I am the second owner, and I purchased the guitar from the original owner who bought it new in Germany while he was in the army. Needless to say, if you miss the opportunity to buy this guitar, you will not get another.
    The sound is great and the action is low. There is a crack on the top at the lower right bout. At some  point the bridge began to lift and the guitar was retrofitted with a tailpiece, the bridge has since been re-glued, and the  tailpiece removed, but there remains the plugged screw holes and some marring from the screwplate.
