    I’ve done all those mods on guitars myself. It’s really fun & I always learn things. I wish I could do guitar set ups for a living😂. I have so many guitars that if I go ahead to change strings on 1. I usually do 2 or 3 while I have the time 😂✅. Great Job Enjoy & Rock n Roll 🤘😎🇺🇸🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Cheers 🍻

    I'm currently changing a floyd nut with a gtaphtec and was worried about it not fitting well, and leaving a bit of a mess. You may have just saved my life. (And my vintage Strat that I stupidity put a floyd on in my younger days). 👍

    You can actually leave that shim out between the bridge and the blocks it help with getting better sustain and tone without the shim dampening the block contact

    You can get a special tool for adjusting intonation on a floyd. If you block the trem and use the tool it's slightly less awful to do intonation. Skyscraper guitars makes a set of tools for floyd setup that make it much better.

    Nice. I might have to do the same to my old Carvin. The nut it came with is a bit odd. For whatever reason the B string got cut lower than the other notches and it constantly makes this high pitch buzz when it's played open. So I've been wanting to replace the nut for years. Since I've got locking tuners it kinda makes sense to go with one of these. And I also tend to block the Floyd Rose alot too so I might have to try the Tremol-no too. Thanks.

    It had a locking nut for a reason when using the trem your strings loosen at the tuning pegs post the strings can shift if dive bombing it the nut locking stops that you might as well just bought a strat because it's going to fall out of tune

    Try intonating the guitar, then put the locking nut on correctly. I can change strings on a floyd as fast as you can on any guitar. Everything youre doing here is a compromise, when your guitar isnt set up correctly. Try that first.

    could have saved some money and left the locking nut on but remove the locking pads. will work better than any regular nut and never have to file for different string sizes... plus if you want to lock it again, you could

    Locking tuners are not comparable to a locking nut, it will no longer stay in tune like it should without a locking nut. These mods ruin the functionality of a perfected design, but hey, to each their own.

    • @Danduncanguitars
      @Danduncanguitars  3 місяці тому +3

      Actually it’s staying in tune fine. The self lube nut is doing wonders, if I was doing dive bombs yes the locking nut would be needed. Open your mind brother to the world of possibilities. But thank you for the feedback
