    some of you used to remember I used to post here alot, probably don't
    anyway I essentially haven't played my guitar's much for a long time they're all a little bit ****ed one way or another, so to get the ball rolling I need to be pointed in the direction a very simply thing,
    My most important guitars are ibanez and ESP both with Floyd rose tremelo's and as such have the full locking system - I have however lost the alan key and on one of the guitar's actually lost one of the little locking nuts - I can't seem to replace them for a reasonable price, any ideas?

    My guitarist managed to lose a locking nut too, but he replaced it with a nut he found at home in his shed. It doesn't look to pretty but it works.

    Have a look around at a Woodies or something and even bring in one of the other nuts to compare it too and see if you can replace it.

    Get them off stewmac.com - the shipping should be about $10 for something light like a couple of allan keys and a bolt.

    I'm sure your local guitar shop might have a locking nut hanging around somewhere. Cheaper and faster than ordering them in from usa. Thomann have them too but not the single nut, just the full set of 3. You can get the allen keys in any hardware shop.
