I have this on my mahogany strat and I love it. It works as well as my floyd rose without the trouble. All you need to do is put a little lubricant or even chap stick when you change the strings to keep it working perfect because obviously if you dont maintain something its not going to work. With this, my locking tuners and a floating bridge I'm all set to play anything

Even though I had a professional do the job because it' is not easy at all, the guitar wont stay in tune, and I haven't even used the whammy bar yet, I even bought locking tuners thinking the tuning keys were the problem... and nothing, Basically I could use the bar a lot mor before installing this thing. so really think about it befor making a mistake like I did

I had a professional luthier put one of these, a floyd rose, and locking tuners, on my strat. The tuning was then MUCH more accurate and stable than any guitar I have tried with the typical floyd rose and locking hex nut approach.

Why aren't all guitars made with these nuts?

First of all...I do guitar repairs and hot rodding...even so, had I not had experience in such, the installation is simple. A little milling and screwing and viola!

I play a lot of classic metal and blues so I actually like a little higher action than most for string bending two to two and a half steps up, therefore, I actually place these nuts about 1/64" higher than it recommends. These are a high grade, low friction (0.13% applied) set of bearings (WITH BRACKETS TO HOLD THEM IN - DON'T BEND THEM AND THEY WILL NOT FALL OUT!) In time you will want to use trace amounts of, say, holton rotary oil or even a little bit of chapstick on the nut and the underside of your string trees. This is perfect for the player looking for a trem-agressive style without sacrificing lots of sustain and tuning. I praise Fender for this piece. It is worth the money. If you do not believe me - email me. I do not recommend these for Floyd rose trems or guitars without locking tuners (grover locking rotomatics!!!) These are very nice with the Tune-o-matic and bigsby's too.

I use it in conjunction with my strats standard tremolo and sperzel locking tuners and its the coolest, the tuners keep it in tune while the nut alows tremendous vibrato. so i would consider using sperzels. great nut!
