...Damn do kahler's have huge NUTS.

yeah , and i've seen some brands actually installed them , while one can clearly see that those first frets are not playable anymore ; outerstrings totally on the edge of the neck ...

.. How long did the initial set-up take on that!!!!!????

my luthier gets it done in a day , but they also run the shop , so it depends on how busy it is on such day , most times i'd just dropped it off and took it a week later again ..

the nut job is about 1,5 hour , the floyd however needs some first preperations , like building the template first ( that ofcourse is a win with the next guitar ofcourse ) , the electrics i could have done myself , but they go in after the floyd and since i had to wait anyway ...

and there's the gathering of all these hardwares ofcourse ; for example i am waiting to place a new order at floyd for a golden one , but they're 'temp unavailable' , sop , that might take months to get stuff and these locking-nuts take about 2 months to arrive from japan ..

Awesome guitar you have there Sir!

How is the tuning stability of the Floyd 8? I do have Floyd 7s but I want to explore 8strings (with a floyd) hehe. I am just hesitant because of the stability of the Floyd 8 bridge.

What gauge do you have in there? Thanks in advance.

this one is my favorite guitar to play at the moment - a while now ..., not only for the Floyd , but also it has all kinds of personal experiences for preferences build into it ..

and the Floyd is actually pretty awesome ! even with some xtreme diving it stays tuned ; there are 4 springs in it AND a locking nut ( seperate one from Ibanez parts ; the included one in the set is 1,5 mm to small ..)

tuned to E-B-E-A-D-G-B-E with resp .76.62.46.36.26.17.13.10

however i'm gona use and test excessivly this set from CK :
.079 .059 .043 .033 .024 .018p .014p .010p , most likely on the current project my TAM10 with Floyd

Lundgren active pup?

Just a cover relax

 

[Ram150023]

I sincerely apologize for the MASSIVE necro bump... Don't beat the shizz outta me

But I am confused as to a locking nut for an RG8...

Are the pics in the beginning (with part numbers) a good lead? I need to purchase here in the short future and I am striking out due to the width (2.165" / 55mm)

Any help is much appreciated and awesome looking RG8 btw
