1974 Framus Billy Lorento Semi-acoustic guitar w/HSC and original warranty card - very rare!

Very rare Framus Billy Lorento semi-acoustic guitar with Bigsby style tremolo. Catalog no. 07301. It was manufactured in January 1974 (the label is stamped 74 A). The guitar has a beautiful shiny sunburst finish and is in all original and excellent condition with a straight neck. The frets show some signs of wear, particularly in the lower positions but are still playable. The electronics - pickups, toggle-switch, volume-, treble- and bass-boost (!) pots – function perfectly. There are only a few light marks from age and wear on it as expected with an instrument of this age. Plays and sounds fantastic. Comes from the original owner who purchased it incl. the case brandnew in November 1974 at the famous music store Steinway & Sons in Hamburg as evidenced by the original warranty card. The case is a little too large but in very good and clean condition. Guitars like this are rare, and even rarer in this condition. A stunning instrument for any player and a worthwhile investment for any collector as well.If you have any questions feel free to ask.
