The Return of a Legend: The Framus Hootenanny is Back
In the golden age of music, one acoustic guitar quietly shaped the sound of a generation. Now, it’s making a bold return. The Framus Hootenanny — once famously strummed by John Lennon and George Harrison during The Beatles’ mid-60s creative peak — is back, reimagined for today’s players with vintage soul and modern performance.
Meet the range:
12-string Hootenanny
SRP starting from £870.00
The ingenious blend of jazz and classical guitars gives this guitar an exceptional look and sound. The trapeze tailpiece and sliding, height-adjustable bridge combine with the compact body, classic bracing, and set-in neck to create a unique sound: warm and surprisingly loud. It’s the sound you recognise when you hear ‘You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away’.
Features
Spruce top, mahogany sides and back, mahogany neck with 50 mm wide and flat 19 fret rosewood fretboard with a zero fret and a decorative sound hole rosette made of individual pieces of wood. Available in open pore and high gloss nitro lacquer finish.
6-string Hootenanny
SRP starting from £809.00
Like its 12-string sibling, the 6-string version has an unusually warm and balanced sound, just like a small-body acoustic. A 44 mm wide flat fretboard with a zero fret ensures easy playability. The trapeze tailpiece and sliding, height-adjustable bridge combine with the compact body, classic bracing and set-in neck to produce a unique sound: warm and surprisingly loud.
Features
Spruce top, mahogany back and sides, mahogany neck with a flat 19-fret rosewood fretboard and a decorative single piece soundhole rosette. Available in open pore and high gloss nitro lacquer finishes.
Crafted with exacting attention to detail, the Hootenanny blends timeless tonewoods with Framus’s renowned build quality, while visually creating a work of art.
Whether you’re a lifelong devotee of The Beatles, or an acoustic player seeking a standout instrument, the Framus Hootenanny is more than a guitar, it’s a piece of music history brought to life.
