Framus
This German company made a few of everything—violins, string basses,
guitars ... and electric mandolins. On the left, an 8-string
solidbody; in the center, the 10-string Framus "Strato Melodie"
model; and on the right, the headstock thereof. Below are several options
in an 8-string hollowbody with the pear shape common to
German mandolins. One soundhole or two? Cat's eye or F-hole? Pickguard or
no? Magnetic pickup or piezo? Original pickup or after-market? We've got
them all. |
