Machine heads
This closed, oil-based system is maintenance-free. You can adjust the
turn resistance of the tuning head with the top screw. Use a tuner if
possible. The best results are achieved while tuning up and not down
towards the desired pitch.
The Easy Access™ electronics compartment
The electronics compartment can be opened and closed without the
need of a tool. Just loosen both plastic clips so that the cover can be
removed.
Bridge system setup
Framus Vibrato by Wilkinson
The bridge’s height can be adjusted with the two anchor studs. Each individual string can be
adjusted in height with the saddle’s two Allen screws, allowing for a personal setup of the
string’s curvature against the fretboard. The intonation adjustment on this bridge can be
done without loosening the string’s tension by just turning the corresponding adjustment
screws. The vibrato’s arm is just inserted into the socket and if it appears too lose it can be
tightened through the back of the guitar with the tightening screw.
The bridge is mounted as a floating system and the balance is achieved from the relations-
hip between the strings’ pull and the bridge’s spring tension. A change in string gauge will
most certainly require a spring tension adjustment. ---> Next page picture, picture page.
