Recommended Posts

hi all,

i have a spare neck, and i want to put a floyd locking nut on it. how would i go about this task, is it even possible to do, or should i just get a rolling nut and locking tuners?

It should be possible unless there is something very strange about the neck. The method may depend on what tools you have available. I know it can be done using a small router such as a dremel but there are other tools that may make it easier. What do you have available?

The key is to make sure the routing/cutting is done such that it is level and does not slant toward either side of the fretboard. You can do it by hand with a small saw but you really need to be careful to keep it level.

Do you have a picture of the neck?
