Framus AZ-10

[Strengdal]

Hi folks! This is a real good guitar, and the neck is fantastic. anyone knows how much this guitar is worth today?

I lost the pickguard so I made my own, but it would be much more nice to have the original pickguard. But I can not find any in spare parts? Thanks for adding me to the forum

Hi there, difficult to answer without picture(s). A new handcrafted AZ-10 is around 8.000 Euro, an original one in good condition is worth what someone would be willing to pay starting at 1.500 - 2.000 Euro...my guess.

Hi, check the label which you find behind the soundhole and look for the stamp showing a two-digit/letter comination

Not easy to see, what does it say?

Well, first of all it says 03502 which makes it an AZ-9 and not 10.

Then I think the stamp reads as 74 I so the AZ-9 was build in Sep. 74.

Thats realy strange,You must be wrong because it says AZ-10 writen in the Tailpiece engraving. And its no holes in the guitar body for the volum and tone control, pick switch and jack plug. The neck is the same as the AZ-10 with 21 frets and same inlays. I did have the Rosewood pickguard with tone control but I lost it.

Well, if I must be wrong, then I hope somebody else helps you to solve the riddle.

Yes my guitar must be a AZ-10 it looks the same, it does not look like the AZ-9 at all. maybe the forum did a mistake with the numbers? Look! the tailpiece engraving on the AZ-9 guitar says AZ-9 on the picture, but its written AZ-10 in the text?

Still, a picture would be nice! What‘s the shape of your cutaway (sharp or round)?

Hello, I am looking to buy AZ10 ( older one, not new production ). Are you willing to sell it, or just collecting information ?
