    Description:
    This is a new style replacement lock nut that replaces the old "lever style" locking device that came on your Fender System 3 Stratocaster. The original had 12 pieces and therefore was fragile. When the lever was over tightened, the lever broke out of the cam pin hole. Parts are not available anywhere so we took matters into our own hands....
    We looked into remaking the original with all of its separate parts and we decided it was not cost effective to remake it exactly so we redesigned a new simplified lock nut with individual locking screws based after an old Gibson string lock design that came on Kahlered Les Paul's back in the early 80's. This design requires no clamping plates. Instead special full dog point clamp screws are used to firmly clamp the strings using a 5/64" Allen key (included). This lock nut is made from a billet of 7075 military grade aluminum, same as our Fender System I and II string locks are cut from. The sustain is awesome and the tone is brighter than the pot metal base of the original. Comes with all seen. Fits perfectly since it was made for only this guitar. The lock nut was made to be as low as possible across the first fret so a shim is provided to raise it to your preference. Just rub the shim across a piece of sandpaper using your fingers to press down on it. Rub until its thin enough for you. (Tin foil also works if you just need a hair or two of height)
    Works perfectly with my ‘86 Contemporary Strat! I’d been looking for something like this for years off and on and I finally found the unicorn! Sturdy construction that matches the look of the guitar. Fan!
