Hi niklee,

I really don't know much about Framus Acoustics but from the "J" designation I suspect it is from the 1970's. Values for Framus 12 string Acoustics on eBay range from $250-$450, with the Texan models bringing the most money. Hope this helps, sb

Look at FRAMUS dropdown for dating.

In FIND type 296 and you get 3 models of 12 striing.

Muller seems to be the MAN!.

There is a lot of discussion on Framus at (Vintage) Vintaxe - inc a guy with a 12 string who was looking for info...click away....
