Framus Stormbender
Framus · electric guitar
The Framus Devin Townsend Stormbender is a progressive metal signature guitar offering innovative tonal versatility through Fishman Fluence Transcendence humbuckers with push/pull switches for humbucking and single-coil voicings. An aggressive and distinctive midrange from the 635Hz/3.4kHz bridge and 780Hz/3.4kHz neck peak frequencies yields singing high gain and beautiful clean resonance. An Evertune bridge, Graph Tech tuners and nut keep perfect tuning, and the build quality is meticulous. Clear, pristine chords and percussive, snappy single notes are hallmarks.
