If you’re nuts about guitar tone you’ll be nuts about nuts, and you will be more than aware of the good work undertaken by Graph Tech Guitar Labs, whose Elephant-friendly, self-lubricating nuts have become an industry standard. But could they have just made the locking nut extinct with a $30 accessory called the Un-Lock Nut?
Any player with an electric guitar equipped with a Floyd Rose double-locking vibrato will recognise the frustration of having to keep an Allen key on hand to unlock and lockdown every time they want to tune up or change a string. Graph Tech’s Un-Lock nut wants to ease that anxiety, that worry about where you put your Allen key, and how hard you are turning those locking nuts (yes, just touch tight, but it’s easy to go overboard).
