Compensated nuts ... on Floyds ?

[Thirdpole]

Hi,

I know MusicMan offers the new compensated on their new guitars and basses. I was wondering if the guitars with a Floyd Rose bridge have a compensated lockign nut too ?

I'm asking because i ordered a Tobacco Burst Y2D last month with floyd and i'm wondering if i'm in for a surprise !!!

Thanks

No, it is a locking nut.

Dudley did put the question out awhile back about putting the locking before the compensated nut. Nobody responded positively from memory.

This kind of arrangement gives me bad 80's flashbacks!

I guess it could be done. I was talking about this design.

Y2D with floyd has no compensated nut.

Back when he was asked about it here, I believe that Dudley said a compensated nut for floyd-equipped guitars SHOULD be possible to create, but I don't think he ever said he was going to pursue it.
