Vintage Framus Archtop 5153 – year 1960 Full Setup And Upgrades

– Shaded brown finish, natural

- arched body

- construction of the model started in 50’s

- Production stopped in the mid-1960s

- Rosewood fingerboard

- Binding

- straight neck

- fully functional truss rod

- vintage sound

Recently it had a professional luthier setup (130 euro value)

It comes with a few upgrades:

- properly cut nut slots 

- fretboard with rounded edges

- rounded frets

- 2 bridges to choose from . the metal gotoh bridge comes as a bonus ( 50 euro value) . So you’ll have 2 bridges to choose from, with different sounds.

- low playing action 

- properly intonated

- lubricated tuners

- clean and polished frets (95% life left )

The tone has improved drastically after these upgrades, I will also include the gotoh bridge which is adjustable, it can be easily replaced if you want to experiment with different sounds.
The guitar has minor superficial dings, scratches, wear and tear around various parts of the guitar. Typical of a guitar of this age.
It does not have a case, but I will ship and pack properly with plenty of bubblewrap and cardbox.

Shipping price for Europe: 50 euro

Rest of the world: 100 euro.
