Original Floyd Rose Vibrato
The Original Floyd Rose Vibrato works basically like a Framus Floyd Rose System. The main difference is in the way you
put on the strings: they are tightly locked at the saddle between the little insert block and the string lock screw. To ac-
complish this the ball end of the string has to be cut.

Original Bigsby Vibrato (B7/ B500)
The Bigsby Vibrato is made of aluminum, is mounted onto the body, and comes with a string tension bar, which avoids
string noise when the vibrato is used. The ball end of the string is placed on its corresponding axle pin. The string ten-
sion bar has 3 different settings. The string height adjustment is done at the tune-o-matic bridge with the two thumbs-
crews and the intonation is adjusted with the saddle screws. The lateral positioning of the bridge can be changed with
two side screws, but first the locknuts have to be loosened and after the adjustment retightened.
