Locking nut for Vibrato Tremolo double locking Bridges

Recently, a topic came up in one of the local forums asking about the locking nut of the Vibrato Tremolo Bridges (Floyd Rose). This may seem simple to change but as easy as it may seem, there are some important points to take note of.

1. Measure the existing nut and make sure you get the correct measurements. They usually come in 42mm or 43mm. Don't make the mistake of getting the wrong one.

2. Check if it's top mounted or bottom mounted. The top mounted one has 2 screws that screws into the neck from the top while the bottom mounted has 2 allen key screws that go through the neck from the bottom.

3. Make sure to take note of the way the order the pressure pads are being remove during string changes. You don't want to have the bass string pressure pads on the treble strings and vice versa. This actually kills the pressure pad faster than it can last.
