locking tuners?

[Piro]

I have a charvel model mutt, and I'm wondering if I put sperzels or some other locking tuner, will I not need to have the locking nut?

Some people use Floyds without locking nuts, and Carvin uses that layout as standard unless you request the locknut, but imo nothing beats a locknut (followed by the behind-the-nut lock like the Model Series used) for tuning stability. Even with locking tuners, there is a lot of possibility for the strings to bind in the nut, and with J/C pointy necks the string path is not straight through the nut, which adds to the possibility for binding. I'd leave the lock on there if you want trouble-free stability.

If it's a Jackson pointy hockey stick, the high-E will jump the nut when you dive the trem.

And Floyd designed it so both ends lock for a REASON, junior!

You will need to kept the lock.
