Floyd nut on a RG550

[Axewielder]

I need to find the right locking nut for an RG550 AANJ Wizard II neck. It seems the Floyd R4 locking nut is pretty close, it's width is 1 11/16" and it has a 14" radius. The pics look identical to the stock Ibanez locking nut to me. Anyone know if this will work perfectly, or should I pay more for a stock Ibanez nut instead?

Thanks. So...a 400 mm radius equals 15.75 inches. I'd guess the Ibanez stock part would match the radius more perfectly than the Floyd part would.

i would contact ibanez directly for a replacement. they have a different nut shelf rout than the standard floyd and american guitar mfg. they'll sell it to you directly.

I was wondering about that. What happened to the original nut?

I'm building an RGXXX mutt from parts, and don't have one. I'll just look for a Plybanez version. I see one on the bay called a "Pro Lock III", but I'm not sure if that's the right one. It looks like the right one...lol.
