Framus international

Which he is even holding in pictures taken for the next album's artwork:



So I'm sure Peavey isn't too pleased with that.

He can't help how beautiful the Framus turned out

It sucks that they PEavey ....ed this up this badly. But oh well, not like i was gonna be able to afford it anyways. Now that Framus, I'd sell kidneys to get that thing.

You'd probably have to, considering framus is seriously overpriced in the first place!

Edit: But that framus is just funkilicious, sooooo nice! I love white flamed maple!

Yeah but it's a LIMITED release. Like ppinkham said on the dev forums, 6-12 week wait if your ordering through certain stores.

The link I listed looks like it's a regional New England store, was going to call around and see if I could visit one of their stores (they list 3 as customer pickups) if they had it in stock but got sidetracked with work.

It's the "Editor's Pick" in Guitar Player Magazine:

GuitarPlayer: Peavey Devin Townsend Signature PXD Vicious 7 String Baritone

I would absolutely love to try it out, many of the specs are exactly what I am looking for. But somehow I fear that I may never get to hold one.

Wait a year and a half for the guitar to be released.

$1,799 retail

Built in China.

Thaaaaanks Peavey...

$1,799 is the MSRP, how people get that mixed up with retail price (which is entirely dependent on the dealer, not the manufacturer) time and time again just makes me facepalm.

Just judging by the information in the link.

Actually, it most likely won't for for more than $1k or $1.1k

[ppinkham]

$1,399.00 is what they are selling for. There's one on eBay right now.

[sell2792]

Still too much IMO.

[Tordah]

Considering it's only $15 more for a US made Strictly 7 with (in my personal opinion) superior pickups and wood choice.

I feel heart broken. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to gorge on chocolate and cry into a pillow while singing Adele.

Nevermind I will fiiind, a guitar like yoooooou!
I wish nothing but the beeest fooor Deeeevy!
Don't forget Peeeaveeey, I begged, and then you saaaid:
"It'll be out sometime next year instead,
It'll be out sometime next year instead, yeeeeeaaah"

Apologies if anyone actually listens to Adele.

I found this thread on a google search, and wanted to share my story...

Two days ago was my birthday. Before dinner, my wife and daughter brought me to the couch, and told me to close my eyes. A minute later I opened them to see a coffin case sitting next to me. It was a total surprise, but I knew immediately what it was..

Yeah, they hooked me up with this guitar!

I've been waiting on its release for years. As a man in his late 30s, it was the most thoughtful and generous gift I've ever received.

I'm a big devy fan (favorite dt album: ki) and an amateur gigging guitarist here in the SF Bay Area, but not so much a metal player these days. My band is quirky rock/punk tuned to standard E - and I've tuned this guitar to its rightful open C, so it's going to be a devilishly fun time re-learning how to play.

Over the decades I've owned a couple UV777GRs and a couple RG7420s but haven't played a seven in around 8 years. And I've never owned a baritone. It's also the first Chinese manufactured guitar I've owned.. judging from the serial #, it might also be the first one off the line. Overall, build quality is pretty good. The fretwork and setup are better than I'd expect - I'd put it on par with most US made Strats I've seen on the shelves. The guitar isn't flawless, though: most significantly the battery clip appears to be intermittent, but that's an easy fix.. I soldered my first EMG-81 in 1989!

The guitar is a beast! Standing side by side, it towers over my other Strat bodied guitars. Not only is it enormous, but it probably weighs more than a beefy Les Paul. Unplugged it sounds like a neck-through should. I, too was curious about the body wood since I've read the wings are alder or mahogany. I suspect it's mahogany, but didn't see any bare wood in the control cavity to know for sure.

I obviously love it for so many reasons, and will keep it as long as I'm able to play. If anyone in San Fran ever sees a spazzed out dude playing ridiculous music in a dive bar with this guitar through an old Fryette 1/2 stack.. that's me.

Wow, that is really heartwarming dude! I hope when my son grows up one day he'll do the same thing, along with his mum.

[wyldweasil]

well at least one person has gotten one, anybody else?

[wyldweasil]

Someone on the Dev forum got a hold of one, probably doesn't post here but...:

[theleem]

Man that's a sick looking guitar. I read a review of it in Guitar World or somewhere a few months back and I've been wanting one ever since!

[cronux]

$1,799 retail?

could think of a couple of guitars that I would rather buy and have $$ left

actually 1499 retail from where I've seen, of course, nobody has one though

[LoopQuantum]

Oh Hai!


I LOVE MINE. Playing starts around 1:33.

[wyldweasil]

Cool to see them out there, but I still see some people on the wait list, wondering if I should even bother hopping on the wait list

[wyldweasil]

Not that it means much because it's not in stock currently, but...

[ppinkham]

In my many, many (waaaay too many) conversations with MF, they said they had no plans to stock the guitar at this time. Hopefully they do, because special ordering one through them sucked balls.

You know what's funny? That estimated date they have on their site is the exact same date they showed for my order before the ball was dropped and we had to re-order. I wonder if that is my original order coming through? Whoever gets it, they can thank me for getting the ball rolling. lol

Oh yeah, which reminds me...
