Question about locking nuts

I have a set of locking screws (kahler ones) that go behind the graphite nut. They seem to go out of tune so I was wondering does Floyd Rose have ones that go behind the nut? Or is it simply a problem of getting new kahler ones?

As far as I know, FR doesn't have a behind the nut lock system. Getting new Kahler nut parts might be the best thing since you already have it on the guitar. Locking nuts seem to be the most common things to wear out on a guitar besides the strings.

Hey soulinsane. I have a question. There was this video on youtube of Kahlers vs. Floyd Rose. And they said when you bend the string on a kahler (i.e. like in a rock solo) the strings go out of tune. I notcied on 1 of my guitars it goes out but i'm guessing it is probably the locking nut. Have you ever experienced anything like that?

the rest of the strings will go out of tune becuase of the added tension on the bridge when you bend the string. causing the bridge to pull up a little bit. simple to understand.
