Auction on eBay.
This is a pretty neat looking instrument. Check out the elaborate bridges. Anybody have one?

This is my guitar - a friend is selling it for me. I hope it finds a good home. If anyone has any question post here or email me. Or ask them through EBay - they'll probably get forwarded on to me.
It's a good instrument with a great sound, but I'm just not playing it anymore - it's been in the case for almost a year, adn when I feel like playing steel I use my 8-string acoustic. I realised I'm never going to get good enough to gig on it with the kind of players I'd want to play with.
I think Framus instruments are under-rated in North America - I have a Framus banjo I like a lot. A good luthier told me that Framus instruments were well-made and sound good, but they're "weird" - a lot of interesting design differences from American counterparts.

How do you like that? Comedy becomes reality!
Wonder if the buyer saw my joke? |

| I've got a single neck version of this steel. It's got the same preset fingers things on the bridge. Mine has two six string pickups that are angled to cover all 8 strings. Weird, I guess they ran out of 8 string pickups. |

| It seems like from the questions asked of the seller, the shipping is more than the guitar is worth. Of course they are not in the US. |

| Pickup seems really far from the bridge. |
