I recently picked up a nice old 87 Ferrari Red Model 4 on the cheap that had been sitting around under someones bed. It had been converted to an Original Floyd Rose at some point in it's life. The thing plays phenominal with great fretwork that you just don't see out of Japan now. One problem though: The JT6 locking nut is missing and they stuck what looks like a regular FR locking nut behind the stock plastic nut. This FR locking nut is a little more compact(not as wide top to bottom) than a normal FR locking nut and is just sitting there behind the stock plastic nut, not screwed down. The stock plastic nut is loose.
I'm trying to figure out what to do for a proper nut setup. I don't have the original JT-6 locking nut. I have several R4 FR locking nuts that are the right width but these old Japanese Charvels were not made with the longer headstock with the flat area for a regular locking nut. The regular FR locking nut doesn't really sit correct and flat for a good mounting.
Any suggestions on what to do ?
Anyone have a spare JT-6 locking nut they can part with? That would probably be the best solution along with reglueing the stock plastic nut down.
