Framus Vintage Series

Vintage 5/150 Star BassBringing back an icon from our original line up of guitars, the Star Bass was originally released in the late 1950s and was put on the map when Bill Wyman, bass player for the legendary Rolling Stones began to play and endorse the Framus Star Bass. This remake clearly captures the classic allure of the original.

Framus: Billy Lorento GuitarAbout Billy Lorento / Bill LawrenceBehind the Italo-American pseudonym Billy Lorento hides Willi Lorenz Stich, born i n 1931 south of Cologne, Germany. Stich, who in his early artist years used names like Bela Lorentowsky to give himself an East European touch, was one of the most famous jazz soloists in Germany in the fifties. That wasn’t his only talent; he had enough electronics knowledge to design different kinds of pickups and circuits. Billy Lorento started working with Framus in 1953: in the following years this collaboration resulted in diverse signature models, from the exotic solid wood Thinline to the low budget solid body models. The Model 5/120, which was manufactured in the beginning, is now one of the most soughtafter collectibles. This thinline electric guitar is not only a valuable, high quality, technically mature handmade instrument with beautiful optical characteristics, it was also the very first Framus signature model.

Framus: Hollywood Vintage SeriesFramus started crafting solid body guitars in 1958. The original Hollywood grew to be one of its most popular models, available in both single & double cutaway. Production of these classics ceased in 1966. We are pleased to present the original Framus Hollywood back in the market with all vintage correct features.

5/150 Star Bass - AccoladesMusic Inc Magazine. has named the Framus Vintage 5/150 Star Bass, one of the Top 50 products of NAMM 2012 show. Music Inc. stated it best, “These guitars have the combination of great technology, attention to craft and a cool vintage design.” The Framus Star Bass was Bill Wyman’s bass of choice when the Rolling Stones burst onto the scene in the early 1960s. The Framus Vintage Star Bass does its legacy proud with its visually distinctive flair and sonic appeal. With such a rich heritage behind it, the Framus Vintage Star Bass continues its illustrious, long-standing and award-winning tradition. Framus is also thrilled to announce that the Framus Vintage 5/150 Star Bass has been chosen as one of Premier Guitar magazines Editors’ Pick awards at NAMM 2012 held in Anaheim California.

This was the slogan that the Bubenreuth Musical Instrument factory made popular through its advertising campaign in the 1950s. Framus was founded in 1946 by Fred Wilfer. Many artists, both German and international, such as Peter Kraus, Elvis Presley, Jan Akkerman, John Lennon and Bill Wyman helped to make Framus a world renown trade mark. After its bankruptcy in the late 1970s Framus virtually disappeared. But in 1995 the brand celebrated a come back. The brand has been resurrected by Fred Willfer’s son, Hans Peter Wilfer who is well known as the hard working founder of Bass company WARWICK.

“Framus - known all over the world”
