I hate you Ibanez, no really, I hope you die.

So hurry up and get endorsed.

Nick, it's a RGA.

And you would have stability issues, but Broderick rarely uses the thing for more than a bar vibrato here and there - if you're not doing dives or pulls, then stability issues become way less. The bigger problem is the strings just falling off the tuning machines, but if he's got locking tuners or winds them enough he'll be fine (or, again, just doesn't do dives).

Broderick uses the Floyd pretty subtly, so it doesn't really matter if it has a locking nut or not.

Holy Crap, I think that is the nicest Ibanez that I've ever seen.
And Congrats to Broderick for getting a sig model,
if anyone desrves one he does.

shit I want one of these

I wonder why no locking nut tho.. People say that without a locking nut, your floyd will have a hard time staying in tune, even with locking tuners.. Would it really work decently without one? I havent heard any of broderick's stuff so I duno how whammy intensive he is

Chris doesn't use the locknut on his 1527. He prefers to just use locking tuners, so it makes sense that his custom doesn't have one.

Psyphre, now you know how I feel about Jackson lately.

Wow! That is amazing looking.

Please tell me that is not a basswood body.

Chris only uses his whammy bar for very subtle stuff. Slight half step dips and flutters. Having seen him live, he has absolutely no tuning problems.

Why, what's the problem with basswood?

Total personal preference. I'm just not a fan of it.

Anyway you really don't have issues with running a trem without a locking nut, it's just like a wilkinson or vintage trem in that regard.

A locking nut is really just there to prevent:

A) slippage on the tuners (which would prevent going back to tune after using it)
B) strings falling off of nut (not likely, but then again, could happen, but if you use the retension bar you really shouldn't have this problem)

I don't like the way it sounds, either. It's one reason I don't like RGs.
