It's cool.

I would like to try it out.....

Looks like it could either be a super sweet sleeper, or a total POS.....
 
I'd give it a spin...one of our old teachers at Premier was from Germany and had a Framus he had bought used years ago that looks like it was from that era

Kind of cool looking. Definitely something I would grab off the wall in a music store. I don't know much about Framus so I have no clue if that price is in line on not.
 
It looks pretty cool to me. I don't know anything about Framus instruments though. Weren't they a quality line in their time?
 
While it is not guitarection producing, I'd love to play it.
