OUTFITTING
Experience over decades actually pays off, not only production-wise, since there needs to be a basis on which to build
on, an it starts with the selection of the wood we use for our Framus guitars. In terms of wood as a finite resource we’re
not shortsighted: you can rest assured that we do no harm to the environment whenever you buy yourself a Framus gui-
tar. All utilized woods come from regions where strict cultivation rules and reforestation are enforced. This was made
possible through decades of good contacts and a good working relationship with the lumber industry. In the end we all
benefit from it.
Body woods
Flamed maple tops, selected swamp ash and mahogany bodies – almost all electric guitars are made of this proven and
preferred wood combination. Framus offers many different wood combinations, be it a solid body or a thin-line con-
struction. The exact outfitting possibilities of each model are described in the table hereafter. But before we want to give
you an insight into the characteristics of all the different wood combinations and construction types:
Swamp ash or basswood guitars (solid body)
Massive swamp ash bodies are typical for rock guitars. Hard, with a coarse texture and pronounced grain, this wood has
a powerful sound spectrum with pleasing warm mids and a prevailing character.
Basswood is also an option for guitars striving for that hard sound. The wood itself is soft but still tough and it has a raw
midrange density. As a consequence the instruments are relatively light. The tone that this wood generates is full of low
mids – not for nothing does it have that name: basswood. This combination is ideal for guitars with a radical tone, not
weighing too much thus allowing for endless playing without a sore shoulder.
Swamp ash body with flamed maple top (solid body)
This is a rocking combination that creates a tone with solid substance, enough cut-through and attack. Guitars that use
this combination are hard to ignore and can be used with singlecoils or humbuckers. They consist of either one-, two-,
or three-piece swamp ash bodies with a glued-on two- or three-piece flamed maple top, which is normally 2 millime-
ters thick – a necessity since the top will be getting a specific curvature that is responsible not only for the ergonomics
but also for the appealing design of a Framus guitar. In order to enhance its optical appeal, the flamed maple block is
cut in half and opened like a book (also known as book matched) so that the wood grain is mirrored. Each instrument
that has a top built using this procedure is unique.

- Ovangkol is a west african hardwood with the best tonal properties high density allows for stability and sound quality sustain and warmth shapes its character the outstanding sound properties of tiger stripe ebony are a result of its ex treme hardness and stiffness it gives the instrument a quick response and a finely illuminated sound picture over the whole frequency spectrum p.8
- Ovangkol and maple rosewood and tiger stripe ebony are the basis for our neck construction depending on the model any 2 of these 4 types of woods will be used which gives us the following combinations a table at the end of this chap ter describes the possibilities for each model p.8

- It is a proven combination framus guitars that fall into the semi acoustic and full resonance categories benefit the most from a maple neck with a glued on tiger stripe ebony fingerboard combination the already full sounding guitars get an additional boost in attack and high frequencies that are necessary for a balanced sound picture the ebony fingerboard clearly underscores the tonal attributes and the high standard of these instruments p.9
- Framus pays also tribute to this tradition especially when it serves the purpose of enhancing the properties of the in strument this combination is found on guitars that need that special bite and high frequency cut through p.9
- English 9 p.9
- Although rosewood is included in the hardwood category it is less dense more porous and a tad softer than tiger stripe ebony the resulting tone is obviously warmer but never sounds sharp this combination underscores the naturally ho nest character of the framus guitars that have the additional pro denomination in their model names p.9
- A maple neck has a direct pithy open sound in short it sounds like a big bang reason enough to like it and reason enough to develop guitars that do just that framus is offering models with a one piece maple neck or a maple neck with a maple fingerboard the framus custom shop also offers the option of a guitar with a one piece neck among many other possibilities that will make your instrument stand out p.9
