FS/FT Framus Renegade w Lollar pickups

grungebob

Framus Renegade made in 2001with Lollar pickups. 

Swamp ash body, flamed maple neck, and dark ebony fretboard.
 Lollar Novel T humbucker size single coil in bridge, and Lollar Royal T telecaster in bridge.

Nice light weight just over 7 pounds. as you can see, not one for collectors. 

 Frets and electronics are in great shape. 

Various deep cracks in the paintwork which I've tried to show and a hole in the back which has been patched up not very well. it’s smooth and solid though. 

I’ve a second home made scratch plate if you want to go back to HH set up. 

Have boxes so can post call it £520 posted.

Does it cost seven pounds too?

grungebob

Ah. Yes. Amended. 

grungebob

Withdrawn.

Actually it is for sale. I really like it’s tones, it’s quality and playability but I just love my silver sky neck more so I’m gonna get another SS and mod it.

Chunky neck or no? 

grungebob

No. Not chunky. It’s a D profile neck. Kinda like the Gibson slim 60’s but a tad wider in the hand. 

It gets chunkier depth wise around the 12th. 

Super smooth.

Looks great, something a bit different. What are the cracks from, a tough life as your sparring partner?

Warwick built the guitar for Markus Birkle who was the touring guitarist for Sarah Brightman. He used it a lot in the studio too. I’m guessing the different temperatures from Europe and Las Vegas caused the wood to expand and the finish wasn’t as adaptable as it was. It’s all solid, just visible surface damage

here is a screen grab from a 2004 SB Las Vegas showing Markus with the Framus (assuming he only had one).
