[Kerouac]

Well, that's hideous in every conceivable manner.

How mallcore.

 

[Jbird]

How mallcore.

It's not Underoath, it's Alice In Chains

 

[Peen Simmons]

Suckgasm!

 

[Chad]

wow. Howie has his work cut out for him to find something uglier than that.

 

[yabba]

It's not Underoath, it's Alice In Chains

aptly, it's weird post alice in chains alice in chains!

 

[bsman]

Well, that's hideous in every conceivable manner.

A middle pickup would fix that right up!

 

[Flatspotter]

Well, it sure is ugly, but at least it's expensive.

 

[jelloman]

You know, I've been seeing a lot of really impressive stuff coming out of the Framus factory these past few years...it's hard to believe this came from there...

 

[reverend1]

[Honkridge]

Lame attempt to upstage a G&L

 

[Aahzz]

UGly.

 

[Jbird]

To me it reminds me of the EB Petrucci Majesty, but (butt?) uglier

 

[Highernoon]

To me it reminds me of the EB Petrucci Majesty

You mean the pickguard?
Because that's the first thing I've noticed, and it's..... um.... really EEWWW.
Plus it has a smaller headstock, but still manages to have that huge split between the D and the G strings.

Challenge accepted.

 

[Knox in Box]

I like Framus, just not this one or one like it.

 

[GAS Man]

I had to get a better look at it. There's some aspects I like about it, like the way the strings come off the bridge to the "string thru" ferrules. It's certainly ornate and I'd bet it plays like a dream and sounds great too, but yeah, it doesn't fire up my GAS jets either. Too much coin going into a somewhat odd looking pairing of quilt and flame maple top. I also like the depth of the instrument, not too thick, not too thin. Oddly, my first guitar was/is a '66 Framus acoustic.


It kind of looks like someone from the Minarik guitar company got on thorazine, went to work for Framus and managed to show some restraint.

That’s what I was hoping for.
