Thanks for that! A friend of mine in high school had a Framus acoustic, I remember it was a nice guitar, similar in quality, tone, and feel to a Gibson LGO.
Dean OEM'd some stuff in Czech Republic in the early 90's... I've seen several that were sweet, several more that weren't... I imagine the Poles ought to be able to make decent instruments too, not sure why we never hear about any of that stuff...
