Though they’re perhaps better known for being the electric
guitar brand owned by Warwick, the Framus legacy is one that stretches back all
the way to violin making in the mid-40s.
It was founder Fred Wilfer who cunningly realized that the
Sudeten German luthiers expelled from Czechoslovakia following the Second World
War could put their skills to use at a rival production base in Franconia
(hence the first half of the company’s name).
The 50s rock ’n’ roll revolution saw the electric guitar
become their best-seller, and by the mid-60s Framus were the biggest
manufacturers in Europe. A decade later, however, the company filed for
bankruptcy and lay dormant for two decades until Warwick brought the name back.
As well as usage by members of The Beatles and The Rolling
Stones in their heyday, Framus instruments have been seen in the hands of
contemporary artists including Simple Plan and Funeral For A Friend, with
signature models for Alice In Chains’ William DuVall, Bon Jovi’s Phil X and
prog-metal mastermind Devin Townsend.
