Although rosewood is included in the hardwood category, it is less dense, more porous and a tad softer than tiger stripe
ebony. The resulting tone is obviously warmer but never sounds sharp. This combination underscores the naturally ho-
nest character of the Framus guitars that have the additional “Pro” denomination in their model names.
Maple neck with tiger stripe ebony fingerboard
It is a proven combination. Framus guitars that fall into the semi-acoustic and full-resonance categories benefit the most
from a maple neck with a glued-on tiger stripe ebony fingerboard combination. The already full-sounding guitars get an
additional boost in attack and high frequencies that are necessary for a balanced sound picture. The ebony fingerboard
clearly underscores the tonal attributes and the high standard of these instruments.
Maple neck with rosewood fingerboard
Framus pays also tribute to this tradition, especially when it serves the purpose of enhancing the properties of the in-
strument. This combination is found on guitars that need that special bite and high frequency cut-through.
Maple neck with maple fingerboard / One-piece maple neck
A maple neck has a direct, pithy, open sound, in short: it sounds like a big bang; reason enough to like it, and reason
enough to develop guitars that do just that. Framus is offering models with a one-piece maple neck or a maple neck with
a maple fingerboard. The Framus custom shop also offers the option of a guitar with a one-piece neck among many other
possibilities that will make your instrument stand out.
