I fail to see the advantages of this bridge...

Why would I need to lock the strings at the nut and bridge if I won't be doing in kind of massive pitch changes?

it was satch's idea...he wanted the same stability on fixed bridges as on his guitars with trems


You've got your head down
You've got your eyes closed
You look so pitiful now

Your body encrusted with ash
Breath heavy with toxins
Hair singed and matted
Clothes frayed and burnt

You are left with nothing

I think it's supposed to be more stable, plus you get fine-tuners.

I'd be glad that it's got a metal nut. I hate those damn plastic/graphite ones that snap. It's one less thing you have to worry about.

You know, I'm really tempted to get an 8...but I just don't think I'd honestly have a use for going lower than B or A. I don't play Meshuggah style stuff anyways, but we shall see.

Practically, yes. Technically, no. If you have locking machine heads there's still the chance of the string getting binded up in the nut - not the case if you have a locking nut.

Actually, technically, yes, providing the nut slots are correctly cut and the nut material is right for the job. This id why Graphtech's trem nuts are so good

Correct, but that was the only arguement I could think of. Touché!
