New Framus Vintage Hollywoodreissues are incredibly gorgeous

I always thought their previous guitar range didn't make much of the companys heritage. These, however, are beautiful. Think I'll go for the Black Rose DC.

Strewth, they're great.

Park me with that red SC. Amazing. Are these chambered then?

Wow that's not much for a guitar made in Germany. I *think* these might be hollow with a centre block. Will have to investigate.

Edit: sorry they're made in Korea!

Aye, they remind me of a Gordon Smiths fitted with Maton electronics.

If I were to have one of these I think I'd want a black DC, which it doesn't look like they do.

i like the burst on the last one a lot, but i have an unhealthy attraction to awful looking sunburst paint jobs.

Looking at these for the last day or so, I notice the Black Rose (redburst) one has neck binding and the others don't. That swings it for me. The DCs also have a nice headstock detail. Hope it's not like the Burns site where the guitar has binding in some pics, but the ones that made it to the stores don't have it.

the cherryburst looks like a toy....not in a good way

the soap sc looks fucking brilliant

the black one and brown one are eh.

I was looking at the custom options to see if they could fit a vibrato, the answer is a no but if you want different pickups........ they have 100's

I still love the cherryburst SC but the bound neck on the redburst DC does have the edge to it (despite having a strong Brian May "Red Special" vibe). SC in redburst with bound neck would be the sex.

Very interested to know what the neck profile is like on these: could be very tempted.
