Lynch nut.......

[Budman68]

<font color="aqua">Thought you guys might find this very interesting, this is a shot of George Lynch's very worn Yellow/White Bengal ESP headstock from the "REvolution" DVD.



Notice the nut? Tell me that doesn't look like the "behind the nut", "JT6" type locking nut with the slotted screws! [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] </font>

Re: Lynch nut.......

I was watching that dvd yesterday for the first time and I was wondering about that also. Now if I could only find some free time to try out my new George Lynch Time Machine pedal properly.

Here is a bit better shot I took last year in Baltimore.




I never realized it was a JT-6 locknut.

Just goes to show you he's true to his roots!

Re: Lynch nut.......

Well, that guitar was originally a brass v-trem wasn't it?

Re: Lynch nut.......

He claims it's a pain in the ass to tune but he like the sound better when the locking clamps are behind a nut.

That guitar has been around...

I always wondered about that. I wanted to be a Strat and put in a Floyd Rose but was curious as too tuning stability with a locking nut behind the nut.

What's that "...al" logo under the ESP logo?

Re: Lynch nut.......

Here's another pic with the same nut, but on a different neck. Or is it the same neck modified to the esp shape?

[BLOOD SPLATTER]

Re: Lynch nut.......

Nope,it's a different neck from ESP!!

Re: Lynch nut.......

<font color="aqua">wow, thanks for the better pic Mark, that's great! It's funny, I was watching the dvd a little more last night and he calls it Kahler nut [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] .

Those locking nuts are fine. Never had a problem with tuning stability on my old Charvel Model 6 or Model 5A. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I should clarify...

I watched the video last night where he talks about this guitar. He says that changing strings and getting it set-up and tuned is a pain ("that's why he pays someone to do it" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]). Once it is set-up it says in tune.
