And the next is this electric hard body located here in Dallas at Heritage Auctions:

Since I know nothing about Mandolins the first caught my attention because of the construction. I like the back. The second is at Heritage (I buy vintage watches from Heritage) and is interesting because of the hard body style.

Thanks.

I think they are nice!

1. Headstock joint on that first one looks a bit iffy.

2. Second one is cool, and at the current bid of $110, a steal.

Most of the Framus instruments I've had pass through my hands reminded me of the type of construction you'd see on an old Soviet-era tractor.....despite the fact that their factory was actually in West Germany.... they went bankrupt in 1975.

Well said! Why use dainty bits of glue when good ol' nuts & bolts will keep that bridge in place for good.
