Apparently someone shimmed the lock'nut'. I've never seen model 4s with this.

Ahhh that's good then... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Thanks.
That's a darn sweet idea. Should you want the locknut out for another project you can just get one of Budmans' (thanks again!) 3 holes truss rod cover, take out the shim and there!
Well I guess this can be locked now [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]Comment

Not all models had the shim...the early 4's I've seen with the Kahler trems, circa 1986, didn't have em, but the ones with the JT-6 Floyds did."Your work is ingenius…it’s quality work….and there are simply too many notes…that’s all, just cut a few, and it’ll be perfect."Comment

<font color="aqua">Did you have those new? I had an 86 that was a "one owner" guitar with the Kahler and it did indeed have the shim under the stringlock. As always though with the Model series...anything apparently was possible. </font>Dave ->

Re: Model 4 lock\'nut\'...modified?
I didn't buy them new, as I didn't start playing then. But the one was a 1-owner who didn't modify anything., and the other was pawnshop find that had a 1/4 inch of dust on it, and looked it be otherwise unaltered, though I can't be certain with that one.
This isn't to say that the shims didn't come with some of the Kahler trems, as I have seen those too, but I think the earlier ones did not come with them. All the ones I've seen with the JT6 Floyd with the Kahler-"copy" stringlock had the shims too. This is the one that has the flathead screws to lock the strings. The 4-screw spacing footprint that drilled into the shims for these are slightly wider than those made for the real Kahler stringlocks. I've come across a "transitional" shim as well that had 2 sets of holes drilled into the shim and the neck..I guess this was when they started running out of the Kahlers and needed to use the copy ones?"Your work is ingenius…it’s quality work….and there are simply too many notes…that’s all, just cut a few, and it’ll be perfect."Comment
