    The Locking Fender whammy...

    Can you get these sold separately?

    Which one? AFAIK, the only Fender-labeled one was from the Elite/Katana and some period strats. What a screamin' POS. I'm sure you could pick up a guitar cheaply, and part it out, if you really wanted one.

    Do you mean the one that locks at the bridge, formerly labeled Floyd Rose?

    They are available separately, but are EXPENSIVE, from what I've seen.

    Actually, search eBay. Unfortunately retail new Fender parts sold from stores are *really* expensive.

    Here's an example : http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/g...enderstrat.htm

    That bridge you want is $140! Yeeowooch!

    Well, it's still cheaper than a Floyd and is a direct replacement on Strats with "modern" bridges. I figured that's about what it would cost.

    $140 is not too bad for that bridge. I didn't know they were direct replacement. No locking nut, just locking tuners?

    I wouldn't depend on locking tuners. The nut can still pinch the string. Depending on the guitar, I'd go ahead with the locking nut but would rather not if I could get the nut slots nice and lubed up.
