NAMM 2019: German luthier Framus has unveiled a new Stormbender Devin Townsend Signature 7-String Masterbuilt electric.
The build centres around a carbon fibre middle block, augmented by numerous fancy tonewoods, including a mahogany back, flame maple neck and tigerstripe ebony fretboard. Mounted on the maple top are two active Fishman Fluence humbuckers, which are controlled by volume and tone knobs with push/pull voicing options and a pickup selector switch.
