Got a free guitar last night.

It looks like you can order them directly from his website

You can also replace the screws on your current locking nut with these things:

NEW Tone Vise Guitar Locking Nut with Keyless Locks for Floyd | Reverb

Tone Vise® locking nut clamp system for Floyd Rose® tremolo. Included: 3 clamping blocks 3 springs 3 keyless locks 3 mm hex wrench NOT included.

I have those on my JPM and 540P, awesome stuff.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. It plays shockingly good. Other than the spring noises. If I want to shoehorn the trumpets on there; I will need some "luthier skills" to mod the pickguard and I am not ready for that.

Sounds like you are on a bit of a roll. Push them chips all in, Brother!

Did you see the post about the felt or whatever, for the springs? I’ve also put some foam in between the springs, to quiet them down.

I did. I'm going to tweak on it when I get the oomph to do so. Or just continue to play loud enough where I can't hear them

Don't buy that tone wise stuff. Waste of your $$$. I've had a couple of his items and all of them were not good at all.

This is as easy as it gets and is cheap.....put it behind the headstock and leave things as is.
Use a tiny hex hider wrench magnetically attached behind the headstock. Works great and doesn't move.
