OK I've got three of these Taiwanese stringlock jobs, and all of them have completely different parts.
Two of them have these slotted screwdriver locknuts. On one, the slots are apparantly designed for a quarter to be used as a tool (based upon what I've read in other threads). On the other, the slots are pretty narrow and require a flat blade screwdriver (a pain in the ass, really).
The questions:
- Did Jackson really change the part over time, or was the one widened by somebody after it left the factory?
- Is is possible to widen the narrow one? That would seem to require some delicate filing, probably a little trickier than what I can pull off.
I know Budman sell the ones with hex bolts. That's a decent option I suppose.
