Graph Tech has just introduced the next evolution in guitar tuning with the unveiling of an all-new electric guitar nut that promises to “revolutionize tuning.”
Known as the Un-Lock Nut, this innovative product aims to eliminate the need for traditional locking nuts and Allen keys, offering something much more user-friendly and intuitive.
The Un-Lock Nut resembles a TUSQ XL nut but with a slightly expanded face and unique fanned string slots, designed to work seamlessly with Floyd Rose-style bridges and locking tuners. What’s more, it can be easily fitted with just a bit of white wood glue and some filing, and tuning is as simple as “turning the machine heads” with no need for unlocking or loosening.

The Un-Lock Nut features an advanced slot design to accommodate string behavior associated with Floyd Rose-style systems for precision and stability, as well as precise radius matching, customizable string heights for each string, and an Enhanced String Stress Distribution design for smooth tuning without affecting the nut slot integrity.
According to Graph Tech, “Locking nuts have always been a necessary evil for guitarists with a locking tremolo system. Love them or hate them, they’re essential – until now. Embrace the future of guitar tuning and performance with Graph Tech’s Un-Lock Nut – a game changer in the realm of tremolo systems.”
With a price tag of only $29.95 and promising to eliminate all the issues associated with locking nuts, the Un-Lock Nut is likely to pique the interest of Floyd Rose enthusiasts and those frustrated with traditional solutions. The Un-Lock nut is currently available in FR Original #2 and FR Original #3/4 sizes, with 12″ and 16″ options on the way.
