For all guitarists who feel six or seven string isn't enough, Framus has upgraded: a Framus Panthera eight string, made in Germany, is now part of the essential repertoire.
The body of this eight string Panthera is completely made of Mahogany with a carved top. The Maple neck is laminated with Santos Rosewood stripes, which additionally stabilize the neck. The fretboard is also made of Rosewood with a 27" scale length.
The sound of this "deep-tone" guitar is captured by two active Seymour Duncan pickups. The 24 Extra High Jumbo Nickelsilver frets are installed and perfectly dressed with our patented
Invisible Fret Technology, as well as the fluorescent side dots, which also are set into the neck of the instrument with Framus' unique neck processing unit.
Furthermore the eight-string Panthera is equipped with Sperzel Trim-Lok machine heads, a GraphTech Black Tusq Low Friciton nut, a Hipshot Fixed Bridge and Chrome hardware. Available finishes: Natural Satin, Coloured Oil, High Polish topwith Satin back and sides or completely High Polish.
