Hey Rule.

I agree your first guitar is from the mid 1960's Strato family. Probably one of the variations of a 5/155 Strato Super. In Elektro-Gitarren, the 5/155 is described as "very many variations". Yours has the same trem unit as a 1963 model.

The other guitar is Japanese and likely from the Teisco/Kawai family of the mid 1960's. The truss rod nut location and gold-foil pickups as well as the headstock shape suggest Teisco/Kawai.

Thank you very much!
Since i have little knowledge about these brands and their value today,
can i ask you what you think they are worth?
I have a chance to go test these and maybe negotiate for a price.
The Framus is at 200€ (270$) and the Japanese guitar at 70€ (95$).
Wich one is worth buying or maybe both? Should i try to go under the proposed prices or are they a good deal?
Thanks again, i hope i'm not bothering you with all these questions.

Cheers

Both guitars seem reasonably priced but only buy them if you intend to play them. I don't think either instrument will be an investment that will appreciate in value much over time.
