Go to "Products" then "Fixed Bridges" and select the 3300 Guitar Fixed Bridge.

If it's good enough for Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman...

that would be perfect! if it wasnt 220$ T_T

I had no luck with those Allparts ebanol replacement nuts. Tried it on 2 different Ibanez necks (a 540S Wizard and an Ultra neck) and it just didn't fit right. For one of those, I wound up making a small "nut seat" out of maple. It's basically a little chunk of maple cut so that it sits perfectly in the old locking nut groove, with a channel cut into it to fit a regular sized, non-locking replacement nut. This really wasn't hard, and it has the advantage of being able to replace the nut with a standard one if I ever need to.

Why not just replace the nut? (or take the locking pads off, which I don't recommend)

whats wrong with taking the pads off?? i have an rg3120dr with the trem blocked and the nut pads off and it is fine

How about leaving it alone and not worrying about a locking fixed bridge? What purpose is it going to serve once you lock up the top nut? the edge fx won't fit your guitar without having it routed and the string through holes filled up.

um no. the purpose is when you lock down the nut, the strings become a sharp and out of tune hence the fine tuners on the bridge...
