1960s Framus 5/195 Small Bodied Acoustic Guitar Made in Germany

  
Here for sale is this 1960s Framus 5/195 acoustic guitar, its smaller bodied similar to a 00 or Gibson LG series. It was made in Germany but has had a tough life. Many marks, scuffs scrapes, indents and signs of use. The inlaid brass'Framus' logo is missing. The tuners are generally good but one stem is slightly bent. Wear to the finish on the headstock, I think the top coat finish is mostly gone and the paint is worn. The neck is good, the frets are in good shape but there is wear to the fretboard on the first few frets.

The body has many scuffs and marks, ther eis an obvious cirular ghost mark where a sticker once was. The back of the bridge is slightly lifting but the bridge is screwd doen in the middle and at each side so its well held in place. The model number is 5/195 L (I think) and the L stands for the month of production - December. Unfortunately I think the year date stamp has faded.

The neck angle is fairly straight. The action is reasonable and the strings are new at the time of listing. Its quite a quiet guitar, but it is small bodied. Comes with a basic period hard case, the inner foam protective'pads' have perished so the guitar will be send wrapped inside this case.

Ideally it needs some new foam added inside the case. To summarise its used, roadworn, playable but of its age but its still a survivor.
