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. Specifications: - Auburn shaded finish - Laminated arched body - Schaller mixer and single coil pickup from 1959 (metal housing) - Volume and 4-position switch - Single ply binding - Rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays - Metal trussrod cover with Framus logo - 2 x 3 vintage tuners Selling price (ca. 1958): 114.- DM Retail price + mixer 0/50 (ca. 1958): 184.- DM Beautiful copy and rare in this combination. Part of the information comes from the Framus site. The photos are part of the lot and show the cosmetic condition of the guitar. See Google or YouTube for more information. Shipping to islands (except for the Frisian Islands) is based on worldwide.
