Excellent, you can see her sister on my YT channel, I refurbished guitar for client (guitar was forgotten in attic for more than 25 years of Adriatic sun) and now is his main axe. Yours is in excellent shape as I can see. Cheers!
I have the same year in red. It sounded horrible at first because the break angle of strings over the roller bridge was too small, which allowed the rollers on the bridge to rattle. The cure was to shim the neck a bit and raise the bridge. This increased the force on the bridge and eliminated the tinny sound. The neck pickup has a nice full tone. It’s a bit microphonic, but not extremely so. Unfortunately, my bridge pup needs a rewind. The bass control is very unusual, but useful. The new Framus company put a bass rolloff knob on the now discontinued AZ-10 model a few years ago, and published the following schematic. I assume the BL-15 is similar. www.warwick.de/warwick/data/Warwick.de/Technical%20PDF/Scematic/Framus/AZ_61062AZ10_2PU.pdf
That’s interesting about having to shim the neck, mine was fine that way but I’m glad yours was an easy enough fix. I really like the bass roll off- thinking of re-wiring some of my other guitars with that. Thanks for sharing.

Nice version of Georgia On My Mind Tomi. Thanks for sharing that.
+Tomi V - it's a wonderful sounding guitar. I checked out your channel - great stuff
Thank you very much, and as I said already, I'll keep an eye on your channel, too. Greetings!

If the Framus logo is missing from the headstock,I pawned this for $100 at Brians Exchange in late 1980s.
That would have been funny, but no - it had the logo.
