Showing Results for Locking Nuts & Clamping Hardware

Locking nuts, clamping blocks, string pads, shims and the screws that hold it all down. The nut is half of a double-locking system and it is the half people size wrong.

A locking nut has to match the neck's width at the nut and its fretboard radius. Close is not close enough — wrong radius buzzes on the outer strings, wrong width leaves the E strings sitting near the fretboard edge. Shims correct height, not radius. If you don't know your neck's numbers, ask before you order.
