I wish I had known that before I did the rest of the work. Mind you, plan A, the laminated neck is the same spacing, I’d have had the same problem.
.
I’ve put something together, but there is one stiff one, the handle is tight in the frame with no wheel attached, I have to fix that before the knob breaks off, which happened once already in this process. If I can fix that the very last possible thing will have worked, but I’ll know there’ll be nothing for another old Framus no matter how nice it may be otherwise. And nothing for this one if one more thing breaks.
😬🫣

EDIT TO ADD: Using a cheap trick I used on my very first Texan, to fit new after market tuners on a Framus, breaking the strip apart (the Framus spacing on a six string is further apart).
.
Well, even the Framus tuners don’t really fit Framus guitars so I’ve done the same thing now with my last strips. In fact those are the very screws and fancy washers holding the middle piece of the strip in place because the middle one only has one mounting screw. Colour matched buk shi.
.
new wheels all around and all
of them fitting straight in their holes now. There’s still some stiffness here and there, but in theory it should be good and in reality it mostly is.
