It features an original Floyd Rose bridge system with Floyd Rose upgrade parts. The Wolf Hoffmann guitar comes with an active EMG 81 bridge pickup, an EMG SA neck pickup and with passive electronics with a singlecoil boost in the electronic compartment.
The fretboard is made of Tigerstripe Ebony with block/pyramid inlays and the 24 Nickelsilver frets are installed with Framus' unique Invisible Fret Technology, then perfectly dressed by plek technology. This shape ergonomically suits the right hand perfectly and the weight of the guitar was reduced. The Maple body of the Framus Wolf Hoffmann Signature guitar is curved three-dimensionally. This guitar is now available from Framus as a Signature model. Wolf Hoffmann, guitarist of the Heavy Metal Band "Accept" - together with the Framus Custom Shop - has developed a guitar exactly manufactured according to his needs. PRESS RELEASE- Framus is proud to announce a new Signature model "Made in Germany" for 2013. Solely the cooperation with Chet Atkins could have leveraged a resounding success for Framus on the US market.Framus are set to launch an array of eye catching new models for 2013 with the release of The Wolf Hoffman signature model, Panthera 8-string, AK 1974 S, 24-fret Diablo, and 5/168 Golden Strato De Luxe. It is unfortunate that the Nashville-project found its abrupt end, caused by the bankruptcy of the company in the summer of 1975. In cooperation with the Framus instrument builders, Bill Lawrence and numerous American musicians – last but not least Chet Atkins – the different instruments of the „Framus of Nashville Line“ were created, containing the solid-body guitars Nashville Standard, Nashville Standard de Luxe and Nashville Super de Luxe, as well as the Nashville electric basses Standard and Standard de Luxe.
The new program could then be presented on the Frankfurter Messe in 1974. In order to execute this determined operation, extensive organisational changes as well as changes in the production became necessary.

Wilfer visited Bill Lawrence in Kalamazoo and could convince him, to develop a new series of electric guitars and basses together with Framus. Bill Lawrence, who cooperated with Framus since 1953 and manufactured pickups in the US, basically participated in this new orientation. By the exclusive manufacturing of high-quality products, Framus wanted to gain a new image. Last but not least, a new product line belonged to that project. This task would be taken over by the affiliate “Framus of Nashville“. Wilfer started to build up an own direct distribution network. This step became necessary, since the paths of Framus and the Philadelphia Music Company got separated in 1973. One of the biggest projects realised by Framus in its history, is tied to the buzz-word “Nashville“. This is a very rare vintage guitar! You will not quickly find anotherone like this one.
