Thanks for the feedback! We've recently combined the pages to offer the New Warwick & Framus Facebook page. Warwick Basses and Framus Guitars are made side by side here in Markneukirchen, Germany (as well as the Framus Vintage/Artist Series and the Warwick Pro/Artist Series, made in Korea)...which many people do not know! Fred Wilfer (Father of Warwick's Hans-Peter Wilfer) created the Framus company in 1946. For decades Framus was one of Europe's leading stringed instrument company, played by artists such as John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Billy Lorento, and Bill Wyman. In the late 70's Framus was forced to close due to competition from the Asian market...but after a couple years of transition, Warwick was founded: 13 September 1982, by Hans-Peter Wilfer) Now, 30 years later, Warwick and Framus offer an amazing array of models and options...as well as an incredible Artist roster. The factory is a blend of cutting-edge technology and hand-craftsmanship...with a dedication to high environmental standards. We welcome all your comments...thanks!
