The Meazzi brothers began producing instruments in Sicily following World War II. They used the Framez brand name (from Fratelli Meazzi - the Meazzi Brothers). From the late 1950s to 1961 they teamed up with Wandré Pioli and sold a range of guitars and double basses under the Framez and Meazzi names. In 1962 they had a range of guitars designed by Panati. From 1963 to 1969 they sold the Hollywood series of quirky and unusual designs with active electronics and strange shapes. From 1969 Meazzi continued to distribute entry level acoustics, often made in Japan.
