Graphtech - Unlock nuts

[rauchman]

Greetings,

Curious if anyone has used Graphtech's new Unlock nut, and how did you like it? This basically is the Graphtech nut shaped to fill a Floyd Rose nut route.

Interesting idea. I didn't even know they existed until now.

From the pics, I like how the tuner side of the nut has tapered openings to accommodate a wide range of headstock shapes. Very modern looking.

Some more info on it in this GearPage thread

They were around briefly. Few years ago, then completely disappeared for a long time.
I considered one before I swapped the stock 7620 neck on my Ibanez FRG in the Avatar for a bound 7321 neck with no locking nut. I ended up just getting a Graphtech Tusq XL and through on some Hipshot locking tuners and swapped out the edge for w Gotoh 7.

As I recall, those were a similar nut called Ebanol, and this is Graphtech's take on the idea.
