Tuning machines
Tuning machines are an important component of the guitar and are not to be neglected. Framus is able to offer two ex-
clusive machine heads of its own. All “Pro” models as well as the Monterrey come with smooth-running oil-based tu-
ning machines allow problem-free use of a vibrato system. The Streetwalker and Morrigan models have these machine
heads plus a locking nut that comes with the Floyd Rose vibrato system. All “Custom” models, as well as the AK-1974,
the Manhattan, and the AZ-10 have Framus locking tuners. With this type of machine the strings are not wound anymore
but fed through a hole at the machine head and locked with a tightening screw. If done correctly, the string will be in
tune after about half a turn. Having less turns means less slippage. Guitars with locking tuners stay much better in tune,
especially after changing strings, which also becomes a quicker and less time consuming procedure. The Framus cus-
tom shop also offers Schaller and Sperzel locking tuners on request.
