Framus Guitars

Framus teamed up with 'Accept' founding member Wolf Hoffmann and developed a new signature model “Made in Germany” for 2013. The heavy metal guitar player worked with Framus Custom Shop to create an instrument exactly matching his requirements.
Framus has upgraded its Panthera to eight string, Made in Germany. The carved top body of the eight string Panthera is made of mahogony, Additionally stabilising the neck, the maple structure is laminated with Santos rosewood stripes. The sound of this “deep-tone“ guitar is transduced by two active Seymour Duncan pickups.
A modern rendition of the Framus Jan Akkerman guitar, which was a signature model by the acknowledged Dutch guitar player built in the mid-1970s at the Framus factory in Bubenreuth/Germany, is revamped launching the 2013 model AK 1974 S. Combining a hollow body with a mahogany neck-through-design, the new AK 1974 S provides perfect playability up to the second octave.

Warwick Amplification

Lightweight Bass Amps have become increasingly popular over recent years - they're very practical to carry around, but sometimes sound is an issue. Warwick has taken time and effort to properly develop its entry into this field: the LWA 1000 delivers thousand Watts into 4 Ohms (500 W into 8 Ohms) but weighs in at only 6lb (2.8 kg).
The latest addition to the Warwick BC series of combo amps, the Warwick BC 10, has been developed by popular demand. Featuring the same super EQ and punchy sound as the BC20, the BC 10 was designed to be just as noise free and transparent, but in a smaller convenient package for even more flexibility.
The Warwick W CA 810 8x10 speaker comes in a new version featuring a solid birch ply construction with Warwick's custom 10” drivers and fabulous bullet horn.
