BigRedX Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It's like a more curvy version of the FretKing Esprit. However having had a look on the Framus website I'm not particularly keen on the "binding" around the cutaways and neck join as it looks really ugly to me (the curse of the blind Warwick designer strikes again!) and the prices are just laughable - around €5000!

charic Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 I like the binding but I see what you mean about the neck join! Hadn't seen the back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Binding that doesn't stay a constant width/depth is a personal bugbear of mine. IMO it should follow the contour of the top without getting larger especially around the neck joint. And there's definitely no excuse for it, when it isn't actually binding but just the edge of the top wood with the colour removed which currently is quite fashionable and AFAICS is what has been done on these guitars.

MoonBassAlpha Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 For that money you could get one of those lovely Ritter guitars. I think the design is interesting, and the purple one looks like velour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[IMG]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n249/BigRedX/1166-1.jpg[/IMG] This IMO is probably the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen. If I had the money I wouldn't hesitate in ordering one exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I like that a lot! I especially like the jazzy one in white that looks like a mint imperial though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
