Framus 5/53 Capri archtop vintage guitar Schaller pickup
Beautiful Framus 5/53 Capri late 1950s, early 1960s.
The Schaller mixer/pickup come from 1959, this was probably not on it originally. This also applies to the vintage tremolo system.
Guitar plays well and sounds good. Neck binding with the body has damage and has been repaired. This does not affect the playing or tuning. I think it has been like this for years and it holds fine. It only catches the eye.

- Auburn shaded finish
