john123 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I just replaceb the nut on my Charvel Model 4 with a new graphite nut and I want to change the locking nut or modify it at least. Because the B string is pulled on to the screw of the nut because of the jackson/charvel string tee angels. Here is a link to a locking nut just like mine. I would prefer to not drill any holes on the guitar itself but I don't mind modifying the nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Do you need the string trees? I've never seen a model 4 with string trees, usually the head angle is enough to create the correct break angle. Plus with a locking nut, break angle is a lot less of an issue. I would just pull the string trees and go without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Ross Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 That's not actually a locking nut, it's a Kahler string lock that goes behind the nut. I understand what you're talking about, the same thing happens with my Model 4 but it's never been an issue for me personally. If you're really adamant about finding a solution, pull the string lock off and replace your tuning machines with locking tuners - they perform the same function.
