Shortage of black locking nut clamps?

[sambencuda]

Has anyone else noticed that black string clamps for Floyd locking nuts are backordered from almost all vendors until June? Does anyone know of a vendor that has them in stock?

I ordered mine from stewmac a few months ago and got them right away. I can't imagine there being a shortage of something like that, since they are probably the easiest part to lose other than the little blocks in the saddles...strange.

Stewmac is currently backordered until June, but only in black. I also checked guitar nucleous and got the same thing. I guess I can wait, but it just seems wierd.

If you have some used chrome ones just paint them black until you can buy black ones.

I suppose it's worth a shot. I 've tried them before when I was in a jam. They usually area a bust.
Thanks!
