:oilpit: Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 THAT YOU NEED A ******* LOCKING NUT FOR A KAHLER!!!! There's a reason everyone hated the "Shred" guitars, seriously, they're gonna charge upwards of a thousand dollars for a guitar and not include something that comes standard on a $400 Ibanez?

Basshole Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Duct tape cures all. It also doubles as a locking nut and seat belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarJunkie Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The graphite nut and locking tuners should do the job, but without all the hassle of a locking nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brundaddy Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Is a locking nut NOT industry standard for heavy-duty wang bars? (It does kinda have that cheesy BC Rich Kerry King V look doesn't it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarMan Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 While a locking nut makes life easier I don't have a problem on using the Kahler on the Shred X and it stays perfectly in tune. But it does require that I use liquid graphite on the rollers I also add some to the nut. I find when I use Slick Nutz it stays. While granted the Ibanez guitars I have don't require this step its no big deal plus Slick Nutz works also after drying. The other point is the Kahler has to be properly adjusted you can't assume that it is plus if their is a spring problem it can be replaced with a different spring.

FirstMeasure Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Oh yeah they all have lockers. Leave them loose and they work too... hold me oilstud ... Really? I've been pounding on this Kahler Spyder for 20 years (come August)' date=' and if the Nut's not locked down tight it slips out of tune with regular Bending, let alone when I dive bomb the trem.
