Hi Roger,

I have a 12 string Framus Hawk bought in Frank Hessys in LIverpool in
1966. I dont know how different it is to your model. Its sunburst
with a flat top and arched/domed back. it looks like a mahogany
headstock. I hardly use it but it still sounds great.

When I was looking round the guitar shops in London last year I
mentioned it to one of the blokes there. He reckoned it was worth
about Ł300 but it had taken him two years to sell a previous one.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Alan

I remember Hawk jumbos - very popular around Liverpool in the mid-sixties.
Sort of low-to-mid-price (same bracket as Framus, Hoyer, Levin, etc).

Didnt know they were made by Framus, though.

Does it have a parallel, non-angled headstock (Fender-style) or an angled
headstock (Gibson-style)?

The Framus guitars all had Fender-type headstocks (albeit three - or six - a
side).


I think almost any guitar surviving from the mid-sixties will now fetch Ł300
if in good enough condition. A Hofner President Electric (not regarded as an
outstanding guitar at the time) will probably fetch Ł700 or more.
