Framus Museum Tour | Guitcon 2017

The Framus Museum in Markneukirchen is home to hundreds of vintage guitars, basses, and other stringed instruments dating back as far as the 1950s. While at GuitCon I got the opportunity to visit the museum and learn more about the history of this incredible guitar brand.
Thanks to Framus and Warwick for hosting GuitCon, check out all the GuitCon videos in their playlist: bit.ly/2fp4CBp

Series idea: Colin reads aloud Framus history books, cover to cover; preferably next to a fireplace?

[@ScienceofLoud]

I'm sadly sans fireplace, but I do have a green screen and access to stock footage so...

[@Younguitarplayer]

thanks for this video! I consider myself a big vintage Framus fan, so thaaanks!

[@markcherniy9059]

Thx, Colin!!! I really didn't knew about existing of this musical instrument manufactor.

[@zasmrcaveman5725]

Mary spender is everywhere!!

[@ulfhadner]

I've just been gifted a 1960's Framus 5/196 acoustic. It's seen better days and I think I need to replace the neck. But what an interesting and beautiful guitar

[@jasonbone5121]

The Gibson Grabber bass from the 70's had a sliding pick-up. Great video!

[@robertkinloch1138]

I have played my Framus Bass since the 1970's. Still going strong

[@jeffpettit3119]

I have a Framus 12 string acoustic. My mother bought it new in the 70's.

Interesting stuff,thanx for sharing mate! \m/

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

At the last sentence I imagine a picture of Corpsegrinder to pop up

[@jonathanfrieze8497]

just picked up what i believe to be a 50s or 60s framus cello i was worried it was plywood but it appears to be all solid wood and beautifully made best 250$ ever spent

[@iamnoman85]

3:22 Mary Spender! I love her!

[@MultiGuitarDave]

Yesterday I received a free, yes, you heard that right.....a 1966 Framus Missouri incl. case for free. In a pretty good condition. The electronics are no longer in order and will have to be cleaned. Only the neck pickup works. All hardware on the guitar is original from Framus but don't know if it's also original from Missouri. The guitar plays wonderfully.

[@jackoshaw]

I love my old Framus 12 string! Shes ctacked and all beat up, but I wouldn't trade her for anything! Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4upmp56q9qsZs0

[@humanbeingfromearth]

I have a 60s framus hollywood idk anyrhing about

[@mcswordfish]

Look like a really interesting place. If you ever find yourself with a few hours to kill in Brussels, there's a hellish good Musical Instrument Museum there. Less guitar - centric than this place, but an incredibly interesting place.

[@janminor1172]

Richard Keel uh, yes, I remember visiting that place, long time ago. Great museum, true!

[@goodun6081]

Richard Keel, I should add that there is a good museum of musical instruments in Barcelona, though it is almost entirely about acoustic instruments (has many many early guitars and lute-like guitar forerunners, and Middle Eastern Saz and Ouds and Bouzuki and Jumbush, aka Chumbus etc); but there are just a couple of token electric guitars on display. Still very much worth visiting, and it seems that virtually no one goes there, we had the place almost entirely to ourselves when we visited. PS, Barcelona has numerous street musicians, playing for tips....

[@craigtodd8297]

I Have an old framus but I cant work out exactly what model it is.

[@dionr1168]

What's that orange thing on top of the Marshall?

[@billuminati3867]

Colin, I dont you're not old enough to be in a museum, maybe the gift shop portion however.

[@theessay2530]

I have a framus from 1947

[@rogerbranton7596]

I got a Framus Texan some time ago. I big dreadnaught. Since I got it, I don't think about buying another acoustic, this is it! It records like a dream and plays like one too. I'm pretty sure these Texans still have a low, low selling price and I take any chance I can to tell players to buy one if they see one for sale!

[@Dobrovinskiy]

Cooooooool guitars

[@eze7295]

Hello

[@budstuff1962]

Edinbrough?

[@attardjean-yves3298]

I own a marvelous 12 strings "Falcon" since '68 .... Show must go on ! ! JY Attard

[@Reneghislin]

Saoulé par le baratin et impossible de se fixer sur une image, ca défile à toute vitesse, de quoi donner le mal de mer. Pas vu le modèle que j'ai eu en main en 1966. Intéressant pour ceux qui pourront se rendre sur place, pour les autre, c'est frustrant et fatiguant.

[@ScienceofLoud]

You do recognise that the intention of the video is not to create a virtual version of the museum to peruse at your leisure, right? It's rather a brief educational segment which highlights some of the interesting items and promotes the museum and its story. As with any place that displays items of historical interest, it is best explored in person.

[@Reneghislin]

@@ScienceofLoud That is something worth aspiring with and your goal has been accomplished : maximum of information and pictures. This is not what I was looking for. I know the history of Framus and I am building guitars since 1964 as an amateur. I particularly would have liked to study in detail the original models of the brand. I have been hard on you, your video was not for me at this moment but it must satisfy a lot of other people.

[@broman260]

That's really cool that they try to make unique body designs.

[@william0190]

Always learnin something in these videos, cheers mate!

[@filipes.ribeiro281]

Alô? It sounded like portuguese

[@benjimetalhed]

I need that sliding pickup!

[@humbucker0076]

[@albertomarmi2499]

[@emirhanaykut128]
