Hi. Have you ever considered to put on a roller nut? What do you think about?

someone needed to be told about shims for locking nuts.

You could tap out the nut to a larger thead, drill out the clamps and just getting bigger bolts

Looking to get this exact guitar. I am based in Ireland and I can not purchase from Dean website, and they do not list suppliers or sellers in Ireland or Europe. Where did you purchase from?

Great video bro, just for clarification, without the locking nut, I can just tune using the headstock tuners?

I know im probably late but im now just thinking about buying one, but on the locking tuners thing, did you yourself set it up when you changed string gauge or was it set up by a professional? (random employee in music store doesn't count) Because that might be your problem with the out of tune thing. I've never owned any floyd roses but i did some digging and most people tend to say the korean 1000 should hold tune well if set up by a professional, i own a much cheaper set of nuts and floyd style tremolo (i think its ibanez's own tremolo) and mine stays in tune pretty good, and it was set up by a professional. Now im not trying to sound degrading by saying this, but if you are a professional at setting up instruments then you are probably right.

Excellent video!!

Why is it listed on the website as having a V neck profile? I've heard people say it's actually a C and you give credit to what they're saying in this video by pointing out it's more of a C profile. Was wondering if you knew anything

I have a 7 string Ibanez from the late 90’s with a FR. I’ve always let the new strings break in for a few weeks before locking. Never really had any issues.

Had my tech do this about a year ago... balanced the green and blue to a really useable level. MUCH less of an issue than changing the concentric pots.

Very interesting and rare content, man. Great stuff! ❤ Replacing the locking for a traditional nut should work perfectly, as you showed! But I wonder how this would develop over time, though. I believe the locking nut is more of a practical design choice more related to durability than a dedicated component to fix intonation issues. Of course I can be completely wrong about my interpretation of this matter, but my train of thought does not come out of nowhere, I promise. LOL So. In my humble opinion as a luthier and instrument design history enthusiast (and nerd!), the idea that the locking nut was specifically designed with the sole purpose of keeping the instrument's intonation perfect in a Floyd Rose tremolo system is not exactly wrong but understandably incomplete, actually. I understand that the main function of the locking nut is to mitigate the wear caused by the constant friction of the strings in the nut cavities over time. If the strings are locked in place, they do not have any margin to wear out the nut cavities over time, so the nut AND the strings can have a long life cycle. Using a traditional bone/tusq or any kind of soft materials nut in a Floyd Rose tremolo system, even thou it is technically possible and functional, the nut cavities will certainly suffer with the fritction of the strings with the constant use of the tremolo over time, especially when using roundwound strings, which is most likely the case with everyone who tries this out. LOL It should work fine with brass or other metal nuts as well, but we should have in mind that the strings will also wear out too in these cases, as metals are harder materials than bone or other softer materials. The chance of the strings to break due to the constant metal to metal friction. All these notes and details can lead to several different problems over time as the wear of a component or another increases, including the difficulty of maintaining accurate intonation of the instrument among others. Nonetheless... It is a hell of a fun experiment! 🤘🤘🤘

I have an itchy anus 🤔

I've done the same thing on my 1980 bc rich platinum series ,comes with the same floyd rose bridge.

Nice string tone man!

i have forgotten to tighten the clamps on locking nut before and didnt notice until one vibrated loose and fell off, but i played for a long time and stayed in tune

great looking strat, looks better without locking nut too. the locking saddles/bridge contribute a lot to stability, any decent tuners work, locking tuners are not locking anything they just clamp the string to the tuning peg, shoule be called string clamping tuners to avoid the locking myth hahahaha

Here is a tip for anyone that experiences sound not coming from one of the speakers. Plug a dummy cable in and out of the return jacks a few times. The jacks are cable sensing and sometimes get oxidized and think there is a ghost cable plugged in. If that doesn't work you'll need to open it up and spray the jacks with contact cleaner.

This was my first real amp besides the cheap 6 inch beginner amp my first guitar came with. I still have it and I absolutely hate it. Only reason I still have it is because it's one of the few nice things my Dad bought for me so it has sentimental value. I have a Bugera 333XL Infinium head and a Randall 4x12 with vintage 30s that smokes it with no problem. I can't even describe how bad this amp is, it's just terrible. I don't know if I need to swap the factory speakers or if that even makes a difference. I tried plugging in my Behringer Vintage Tube Monster VT999 pedal into it and it still sounds terrible. Does swapping speakers help? I have a set of Warehouse Guitar Speakers Retro 30s in my closet still boxed up if it would help but I don't know if it's worth the effort. I think they are 16 ohm and I heard on a youtube video from Philip McKnight that as long as the speaker is at or above the expected rating for the amp then you're fine. The amp would just be quieter from what I understand. There just isn't any high end sparkle in the speakers at all. Or maybe I need to remove the back. I did make a half back panel for it.

What kind of nut can fit the locking nut cavity? I cant find one to fit mine.

That`s a very beautiful Fender with very nice pickups 🥰😉😊Locking tuners ?

check out the guitar nut buster. it's basically floyd locking nut with fine tuning without having to screw it to your neck. the strings just pass through it.

I have a question. Is one of the speakers supposed to be louder than the other speaker? Because it almost seems like one speaker is not working.

How do you insert the Floyd Rose on the Tremolo Area I guess you drilled the Tremolo part of the guitar

There’s more iconic dime guitars... but I remember seeing him on the cover of hit parader with this guitar. Hair crazy.. probably letting out a squeal from hell Always stuck with me. I believe this was the guitar he got from his dad, or modeled after the original?

I find having just a roller nut works great with a locking trem.

Congrats on losing weight Samwell Tarley! How is Gilly and Little Sam doing?

Must be a song from Eric Clapton's Mtv Unplugged show.

Graph Tech just released some unlocking nuts.. i think they're designed to specifically replace the FR locking nuts. They look awesome

Thank you very much for this lesson! Please do more videos of how to play Pantera songs!! Like 13 steps, slaughtered, message in blood, any really ! Lol

The new locknuts were too high or too low? They make shims for the floyd locknut to raise it. The mounting shelf on the neck can be lowered by routing if its too high.

Getting a nut right is an artform. With a Floyd nut you have very limited options for getting it set up right, and it is uncomfortable on the hand. What the Floyd does at the bridge is brilliant, but I think the Guthrie way is the way to go now. When you convert a Floyd neck you sometimes get the added benefit of having a longer stringtravel behind the nut, especially on the low E which gives a lesser break angle = better tuning stability. If you need the dive bomb effect there is something to say for the locking nut, it just works more dramatic. FWIW

Get rid of that string retainer and add locking staggered tuners. It'll be perfect.

I find a slight up pull will put it back in tune if it ever falls out of tune. But this is basically why I don't want or need a floyd anymore...just doesn't seem to be necessary.

hey man great video, just wondering how did you get it in the uk i looked on the dean website but i had no way for them to ship it to the uk, so how did you manage to get it shipped?

You have to stretch the strings as you tune them up ..if you pull up on them they will keep going out of tune...you just tune it to pitch and keep doing that until it doesn't go out of tune anymore ...once you do that you shouldn't have a problem with any floyds...that always worked for me

"And it does not suit me" Proceeds to literally melt my face. Great playing style man!

My guitars are Les Paul and a Cordoba hybrid on standard tuning. Then I got my ML on 1/4 step down from standard, and a Jackson Pro Soloist on 1/2 step down. This way I just have to keep every guitar fine tuned and almost never change tunings. Floyds are a pain but I love them. restringing every year is another thing lol.

I been having the same problem. I own the same 50 watt 6L6 EVH. I've already had to replace 2 preamp tubes and now I'm getting the volume drop. Nice Dimebag poster in the background!!!

For anyone who stripped the holes, since they are probably 4M .7 pitch merely retap the hole to an American pitch next size up. Same goes for stripped American pitch go to metric. You may have to ream out the locking caps but its an easy cheap fix.

This stays more in tune with my guitar with a Floyd and a locking nut

Newbie question. Do you set all dials at noon and go from there mixing sounds or do you turn everything off to start

Great playing! Have this amp for over 15 years, works great just needed some cleaning. So I opened the whole thing and got rid of all the dust and now the sound is even better.

If the nut was too low you could've just shimmed it... The nut height has nothing to do with the relief.

Damn that's really nice dude 🤘

Does it have a footswitch? Can it switch between clean and crunch. And separately from od1/od2? Thank you for the review and nice playing!
