Mystery Framus Model
I used to have a nice Framus acoustic. 6 string, dreadnaught, solid spruce top, sunburst finish, mahogany back and sides and the back had the belly to it. Fixed bridge with adjustable saddle and laminated neck. 0 Fret. The interesting thing about this guitar is it had a french heel rather than a bolted on neck. I have only seen one other Framus like it (years ago, none recently) and I can't find out what model number mine was. Does anyone have a clue? Oh, and it's out there somewhere, so if you…See More
Warren Bendler commented on Richard F. Benjamin's group Buckeye Pickers"Good news! Heights Guitars, in Cleveland Hts. is live and well! This shop is my favorite in North Eastern Ohio, and us locals were worried it might go out of business when the owner, Greg Stiles passed away last year. But some great people bought it…"
Warren Bendler replied to Regan Mulligan's discussion Looking for Gurian Owners"Just as a follow - up. I have a friend who has wanted a Gurian since I got mine in 1978. So I made a deal with him. He bought me a gorgeous 2008 Rickenbacker 330 that looked like it had never been played, and I traded him the Gurian for it. So…"
Warren Bendler replied to Regan Mulligan's discussion Looking for Gurian Owners"The serial number is C3232. I bought it in 1978, I'd have to dig out the receipt to find the exact date. I still have the brochure and the thank you letter from Michael Gurian, too! I don't know yet if I'll sell it, I'm still…"
Warren Bendler replied to Regan Mulligan's discussion Looking for Gurian Owners"I own a Gurian JM that I bought in 1978, so it's a pre - fire guitar. I am considering selling it, because I want to buy a Rickenbacker 330 and it's the only way I could afford one. (I have other hand made guitars so it's not a…"
Warren Bendler replied to Acoustic Guitar's discussion Chat with Dean Markley and Greg Farres of UltraSound Amps, Experts in Acoustic Sound"How does the sound of the Tahoe XM compare to the Promag Gold? I don't want to give up that natural sound."
Warren Bendler replied to Acoustic Guitar's discussion Chat with Dean Markley and Greg Farres of UltraSound Amps, Experts in Acoustic Sound"Dean,
I have a Pro Mag Gold Pickup. BTW, the sound is wonderful, very natural. I want to get one for my Alvarez 12 string but the sound hole is larger and the pickup won't stay in place. Do you make ones with larger wood frames, or is there an…"

Warren Bendler replied to Mike's discussion Tingling Fingers: HJ-38 posture in the group Fingerstyle players"I had kind of a humorous problem that is related. I had been having pain in my left wrist, especially when I extended my pinky to hit a note on the E or A string. I went to the doctor and showed him what I was doing (without a guitar, just holding…"
Warren Bendler replied to Bill Tremor's discussion Favorite Strings in the group Fingerstyle players"I have been using Elixir Extra lights, Nanoweb and Polyweb interchangeably, depending what the store has in stock. I use them on my Gurian JM, Yamaha L6, and Yairi DY51 and I like them very much. I typically get at least 6 months out of a set and I…"
