Metal Shock Finland has just been made aware that the legendary German guitarist Wolf Hoffmann (ACCEPT) is going to unveil his first signature guitar very soon. Metal Shock Finland ‘s Chief Editor, Mohsen Fayyazi has just had a chat with the legendary ACCEPT ‘s management for more information about this guitar.

Wolf Hoffmann‘s first signature guitar will be called the “Flying Fortress.”  It is a 6 string guitar which has been developed and manufactured according to his needs. This guitar is now available from Framus as a Signature model.

Wolf commented:”“ Growing up in Germany everybody had a Framus guitar at one point or another and I could have never anticipated that one day I would be friends with Hans Peter Wilfer, the man behind the re-birth of his father’s legendary brand. I had no idea what an amazing company they really are until I went to their factory and saw first hand the unbelievable craftsmanship and quality they deliver. I am happy and proud to introduce my first signature guitar, a real “Heavy Metal Axe” – made in Germany ! “
