Sweet...I´d lose the Kahler nut, though. It´s not serving any purpose except being an extra 2 friction points

Charvel model 4s have the best neck I have ever played.
I am biased, I own one.
That one looks gorgeous dude! SuperDistorsion and Alder... Must get you quite a bright tone? Tell us how it plays!
I also love the color. What strat does the body come from?

Thank you guys!
The Kahler nut is coming off, Zerb..its actually acting as a string bar at the moment without it the strings jsut seemed to "high" and odd looking, but I bought a chrome bar to replace it today. The Knob is a Gibson knob...it does kind of "fit" eh?
The body is a MIM....Im using a 250K pot so it really isnt too bright...has a cool tone....and a great split clean sound too.

Coll looking guitar!

I've never seen a nut like that before.
Is that a locking nut behind the regular nut? Maybe I could put that on my highway 1 strat and go nuts with the trem without going out of tune. Would that work?

It's a Kahler locking device. I don't know about using it with a vintage trem, but it could help. Kahler is back in business, so you can buy new parts again. They have one of the locking devices that just flips open, so you don't need to keep an allen wrench handy. Here's the link for it:

And if you're interested in an older lock, I have one lying around that's missing a few parts (could be ordered from Stewmac-same parts as Floyd lock nuts) that I could send you.

Docrock, that's an awesome guitar. I'm planning on getting something similar, a Charvel neck on some sort of superstrat body.
