As the heirs of Framus, we knew we had to make this unique instrument available to other musicians and collectors.
We have an identical 12-string Hootenanny in our Framus Vintage Museum, and with the help of old documents, we reconstructed the 6- and 12-string models to the exact specifications of the original. We contacted Lennon's estate and received its cooperation in releasing this guitar.
We are very proud to bring this unique instrument back to life. We are convinced that we will inspire many Beatles fans all over the world with this beautiful acoustic guitar.
The ingenious blend of jazz and classical guitars gives this guitar an exceptional look and sound. The trapeze tailpiece and sliding, heightadjustable bridge combine with the compact body, classic bracing, and set-in neck to create a unique sound: warm and surprisingly loud. It's the sound you recognize when you hear 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away'.
