Floyd Rose Locking Nut Question

[possum1284]

hi do i need a flyod rose bridge in order to use the locking nujt?

Also is it possiblr to use the locking flotd rose nut as a standard nut( remove the extra stuff)?

thanks

You don't NEED a Floyd Rose to use the locking nut. I believe Schaller makes a non-trem bridge with finetuners so you can use it with the locking nut. Infact, you can get one from Stewmac. Here is the link

Yes, you can use the Locking nut as a standard nut (IE: Remove the string clamps)

To remove the string clamps, simply loosen the set-screws (Allen key screws) that hold them down, and then pull the clamps off.

Nitefly: You can get all the parts for a locking nut here: Stewmac Link

Are you talking about a Kahler lock nut ie: locks after the nut rather than being the nut itself, there was a thread recently about Kahler going back into production.
