Check out the lines of this 1964 Framus 5/170 Electrona.
This guitar made by the now deceased German constructor has much more detail to offer than an eye can take in a day. Note how the beautiful metallic pickguard delivers a lovely retro-futuristic look, and how that same metallic feel extends to the coils.
The endless number of switches and controls are making me almost as intrigued as the strange bridge and tailpiece.
And what to say about those lines on the bottom horn? Could that be a built in amp?
Would be a joy to place even one finger on this beauty.
