I was doing a search online for a guitar that was given to me. I noticed alot of people wanting info on “Framus Guitars” I thought Would try to help with some tid bits I found.
First, The serial number doesn’t have anything to do with identifying the guitar (unless it is stamped on the back of the headstock).Its the number with the forward slash (ex.1/153) to tell you the name of the model. The last 3 numbers (67k) are the year and month that it was built. November 1967. (A=January B=Febuary C=march etc. continue the alphabet after December starting back at January). Mine is a 5/153 “Caravelle4” made in November 1967. Here is a good link for the info I found:

“Framus Vintage” to “Vintage Models” in top row will get ya there. There aren’t any pictures here but the numbers do help narrow it down. I also found a site with a few pictures. Funny thing is, is that, this is the first page that I got on a google search, and my guitar is pictured there LOLOL… the link is:
