jacksonsxrule Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 On this new guitar neck i got it has the standard nut with string grooves and such. Is it possible for me to remove that nut and replace it with a locking nut to fit my floyd rose? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 i believe you will need to shim under the floyd nut to bring it to the right height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 i wonder what the best way to actually cut away the excess wood is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 locking nut fretboards are longer to provide for the shelf underneath the shorter nut.you don't cut anything...you add a shelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 well on some regular nut FB's there's wood on either side of the nut, at least my tele does, but that's a fender style headstock... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
