Post subject:  Headless locking nut?

Hey all --

I'm working on a funky old Steve Klein headless guitar, replacing the Strandberg bridge with a JCustom steinberg-style bridge. It's still got the Strandberg locking nut, which looks great, but is a flawed design in that the setscrew pinches the string right down on top of the mounting screw, and as a result, eats strings like crazy. Does anyone know of a better-designed, yet equally stylish locking nut maker?

A couple of neat things about this guitar - the neck/fingerboard is solid Brazilian, and the pickups are Lindey Fralin wound BoneTop P-90's by Spalt Instruments. It sounds fantastic!

Thanks!

Ken
