Version 2.2
German goldtop
German, that’s for sure but who made it?
The pickups were mainly used by Hofner, also Astro, Gima, used these pickups, the trussrod cover with only
one screw is a common feature on Klira and Framus guitars.
So a mystery, this guitar has had a hard life and has been forgotten on an attick or in a cellar for a long time,
a refret wouldn’t be a bad idea but the fretwork is still acceptable.
The neck is a 3 piece neck, and the body is made by a proofed and tested Japanese idea, solid slab with an
arched plywood top, but here’s again a big difference with the japanese the body is not made of plywood, i
guess it’s alder.
Nice playing bolt on neck, needed to replace a few pot,s and tuners but he’s playable again and that’s what
counts and he has shitloads of mojo.
I’m very curious who made this, i can’t find any german build les paul model with the same hardware, the
bridge is missing a cover but that’s all.
