Framus Texan
Framus had a folk/western production line in the early sixties that consisted of the models Dix, King, Gaucho and Jumbo. The country and western scene was however considerably more active in the USA than in Germany and that was reflected in the product offering from the factory in Bubenreuth: concentrating on the essentials created the success of the Texan model, which came as a 6- or 12-string guitar. It became one of the top-selling western models of all time. And the millionth Framus guitar at the 25th anniversary of the company wasn’t a King by accident.
