I had a 24 inch scale 24 fret guitar for a while. An oddity off rondo music. It was a little too small for me. My fingers felt crammed together on the upper frets. Gibson scale is as low as I can go.
I would love to use a normal old locking nut but they aren’t compatible with a Vega trem since the Vega trem doesn’t have fine tuners. I suppose I could use a floyd trem. Way cheaper than a Vega and a nut buster. Just have to shim saddles and what not.
Thanks. It’s a bit bland in a way but a serious player. I’m going to do a tele version with the same trem and locking nut buster but in gold hardware, bubinga top, roasted maple neck and Kingwood fretboard. That’s my plan for now. Also an angled bridge humbucker.
I’ve had locking tuners. They just lock the string so you don’t have to wrap the tuning peg as much. They don’t really lock the strings to stay in tune for whammy usage.
The nut buster floats on the strings. I tried to use the nut buster without the string tree at first but have you noticed the slight design flaw with 7/8 warhead tuning peg placement? The low E string is angled toward the A string slightly between the nut and the tuning peg. I can see this in...
Another pic of this beautiful guitar! Locking guitar nut buster and floating Vega trem. The only way to get a floating trem with adjustable saddles and locking the strings with an earvana nut all at the same time as far as I know.
