Construction
Neck joint
Basically there are three different neck constructions at Framus: Neck-through, set neck, and bolt-on, the latter having
two options namely the traditional 4-screws neck joint and the Framus patented bolt-in technology. This new system
developed by Framus is a combination of traditional proven methods and new fabrication technologies that result in an
instrument with excellent ringing and vibration properties.
80% of all Framus guitar have this very firm and comfortable system that is geared towards the best playability. At first
glance one can see two screws on the back of the guitar that create the visible portion of the neck joint. There is no
uncomfortable metal plate, which already gives the notion of something else than a regular bolt-on neck. Then there are
two additional screws underneath the neck-pickup, which means they are visible only when the pickup is removed. The
heel is therefore a little longer than a traditional bolt-on neck joint meaning it goes deeper into the body, plus the added
firmness of the 4 screws. The additional comfort, ringing characteristics, and upper-fret access that this creates makes
the playability of the guitar a dream come. Such a unique construction feature you can find only in original Framus gui-
tars.
