Graph Tech Guitar Labs Canada, introduce the ‘Un-Lock Nut’ a unique and alternative concept for use with guitars featuring locking vibrato systems


Graph Tech Guitar Labs’s new slotted Un-Lock Nut features an alternative concept design that eradicates the pitfalls often associated with guitars fitted with locking vibrato systems.

Whilst the original locking nut was designed to clamp the strings in place securing tuning when performing vigorous vibrato techniques, guitar players have always been aware of the time-consuming procedure when changing strings and not being able to access headstock machine heads.

With ‘Advance Slot Design’, Graph Tech’s new Un-lock Nut allows all the original functionality, string behaviour and performance benefits of traditional locking vibrato nuts, whilst ensuring stability within stable tuning and accurate intonation, allowing the player speedy string changes on stage and the ability to operate both, traditional fine tuning at the bridge and unlocked access to the headstock machine heads.

Looking sleek and stylish crafted from Black TUSQ XL infused with triple self-lubrication properties for a friction-free glide, additional benefits include extended ramps evenly distributing string stress and the allowance of individual string height adjustments.

With guitar luthiers and manufacturers in mind, Graph Tech Labs offer their new Un-Lock Nut with 10″ radius in FR Original #2 and FR Original #3 / #4 sizes, with 12″ in FR Special, and with 16in in IBZ options.
