First unveiled at NAMM 2018, Framus’s new D-Series electric guitar line is now available.
Based on the company’s Teambuilt German Pro Series and Custom Shop models, Chinese-built guitars promise high-quality woods and hardware across seven models: the Diablo Pro, Diablo Progressive X, Diablo Supreme, Panthera Supreme, Panthera Pro 7, Phil XG Artist Line and WH-1 Artist Line (the latter is not available in the USA and Germany).
Seymour Duncan provides the pickups (minus the WH-1, which features Fishmans), while fingerboards are Tigerstripe ebony, and - good news for southpaws - left-handed versions cost nothing extra!
Warwick Security Locks, Cleartone strings and a Deluxe RockBag are also included with each guitar.
