Holy moley, the back and sides are real, solid wood, and all that striped magic . . . maple(? I think??!?)? . my dream was to match the Revenant, my 6 string, but the Revenant is all one sort of grain on the inside and only the stripes on the outside. Only the top is real wood on the 6 string. . When I thought I was putting a bolt on block inside, I took a few pics to see what was inside, I wasn’t looking for grain, but I just looked at the pics and the stripes are there! The pic is not great, but I think you can see it. . Now I suppose I’m in the market for a 6 string to match my 12 string! LOL . Plus it explains why this one hasn’t got cracks and splits all around like the rest of the Framus’ that age do, it’s proper wood! . Wow, great find, pressure’s on to make it work. 😀💜💜💜 . /23 #Guitar #Framus12StringProject

I had to double check for the millionth time inside the Revenant, in case I’d missed it, and for a second I thought maybe I was wrong - but then I saw and remembered that you can see on the inside a line down the length of the back with one sort of grain on one side and a whole other piece of veneer on the other. LOL. Definitely composite. . The 00-15M is real wood, but it’s new and it was expensive. Real wood from the ‘60s, I am so chuffed! Gonna kill me if I can’t make it work now. . EDIT TO ADD: I guess the takeaway from today’s realization about the project guitar is if you see an old Framus acoustic and the sides aren’t split, grab it 😀💜 . /24 #Guitar #Framus12StringProject
