  Floyd rose nut screw mount help

  Posted by JD Metzinger ‎ ‎ on October 9, 2024 at 4:04 pm

  Hey y’all

  I’ve got a new mighty mite neck for the homie, and need to install the locking nut.

  I can’t seem to hit the mark with the screw, even with a self centering drill bit. When I screw it down it pushes the nut away from the end of the fingerboard just enough to throw off the intonation.

  Any tips on how I can really hit the mark with this?

  I know exactly what you mean. I usually mark the center and then use a punch to start the hole a tiny bit toward the fretboard so it pushes the nut slightly into the fretboard end.
