The team at the Framus Custom Shop in Markneukirchen, Germany presents another signature model for Wolf Hoffmann and shows what German guitar making is capable of. The WH-1 Bionic Snake impresses in every detail from the finish to the smallest hardware part. If you can dream it, Framus can build it!The basis for the finish is sand-blasted lacewood, which, together with the chrome and green tones, creates a special structure/surface. The snake motif, which is borrowed from the current record cover, was applied to this. This application is made of real steel and has a 3D effect due to its majesty.
The WH-1 Special Bionic Snake was tailor-made for Wolf Hoffmann. He is a world-class guitarist who made metal history with his band Accept. In Framus he has found the ideal partner to turn his vision of the “perfect” guitar into reality at the highest level.
