Another Guitar from Luke

1965 Framus Archtop acoustic Framus .. made in Werke-Bavaria.
I bought this is a small town in Belgium near the Dutch border,
at a kind of second hand junk store/Military surplus Variety
store in 1982.
All original, bridge might be replacement?
Bieke, please weigh in.. if you see this.
all tuners are original and work fine, intonation is still
good..screaming for a neck adjustment and string change.
Original chipboard case is beat up and in my attic.
Price was about 12 dollars American, I didn't haggle..just paid
the nice store owner his money.
These Pictures were taken @Luke Manor in the garden.
Antique Queen Anne Victorian Wicker chair circa 1890 as a
backdrop..

The guitar is a beauty...The chair is a beauty ;D
I had a buddy that brought an 8 string Framus back from Germany.
Really high action and major intonation problems...But damn it
was a beautiful guitar!
So is your Luke! Thanks for the pic! 8)

Same on this one AJ..neck needs period adjustment..high
action..yes, thus it gets a lot of play as a slide guitar.

Opposite problem with the '75 LP Custom I had. :'(
Used to take a piece of 14 gauge solid electrical wire and slip
it under the strings up against the nut so it would raise the
strings up enough to facilitate slide playing.
