One-piece fixed bridge
This bridge has the so-called “string-thru-body” design, which means the strings are put on through the back of the gui-
tar. 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.

Framus Floyd Rose Vibrato
In this vibrato system the strings are fed through the back of the saddle, tuned up with the machine heads and tighte-
ned with the locking nut. Further tuning can only be accomplished with the bridge fine tuners. The intonation screws are
the saddle mounting screws that have two position holes that serve as starting points for all the in-between positions
thereafter. The intonation adjustment procedure requires loosening of the strings. Once the saddle is moved to the cor-
rect position is has to be retightened. The height of the bridge and strings can be adjusted with the two mounting studs.
The vibrato arm has a cap nut that is screwed to the bridge.
The bridge is mounted as a floating system and the balance is achieved from the relationship between the strings’ pull
and the bridge’s spring tension. A change in string gauge will most certainly require a spring tension adjustment. --->
