  • locking tuners?

    I have a charvel model mutt, and I'm wondering if I put sperzels or some other locking tuner, will I not need to have the locking nut?
    Gear:

    Gibson SG (Stock)
    Ibanez RG7321 loaded with Seymour Duncan Invaders
    Charvel frankenstien guitar (not entirely sure what it is has a Charvel Logo)
    Line 6 Pod Xt Live
    Atomic Reactor 212 50 Watt
    Groove Tubes
    Dr Strings

    Some people use Floyds without locking nuts, and Carvin uses that layout as standard unless you request the locknut, but imo nothing beats a locknut (followed by the behind-the-nut lock like the Model Series used) for tuning stability. Even with locking tuners, there is a lot of possibility for the strings to bind in the nut, and with J/C pointy necks the string path is not straight through the nut, which adds to the possibility for binding. I'd leave the lock on there if you want trouble-free stability.

      If it's a Jackson pointy hockey stick, the high-E will jump the nut when you dive the trem.

      And Floyd designed it so both ends lock for a REASON, junior!
      please don't put it into words, 'cause I fear what you're thinking
