8-string Titanium Alloy Fanned-fret Headless Guitar String Lock Nut

In this review of the 8-string Titanium Alloy Fanned-fret Headless Guitar String Lock Nut, the bottom line is simple: buyers who own an 8-string headless electric guitar with a slanted fret bridge will find a noticeably lighter, harder replacement nut that prioritizes durability and clean string routing. The reviewer found the titanium alloy construction to be the clearest single advantage, offering strength and reduced weight compared with common zinc-alloy parts while keeping installation straightforward for players comfortable with basic setup and hardware swaps.

Key Features

• Titanium alloy material: Provides a high hardness and low weight, making the nut both sturdy and less likely to add neck-end mass that alters balance.
• Slanted fret compatibility: Designed specifically for 8-string headless guitars with a fanned or slanted fret bridge, ensuring correct string angle and spacing.
• Open string-threading holes: The anti-stabbing design keeps the string ends visible and reduces the risk of sharp string ends protruding during changes.
• Copper pressure plate: The string-tightening screw clamps down on a round copper plate to protect the string from cutting and extend string life.
• Compact dimensions: The lock measures 39mm x 28.5mm x 6mm and a 7mm per-string spacing, fitting common 8-string headless layouts without excess bulk.
• Easy installation: Ships with installation hardware and can be fitted by anyone familiar with headless bridge setups, reducing shop time.

Who It's For

This part is aimed at players who use 8-string headless electric guitars with a slanted or fanned fret bridge and want a lighter, more wear-resistant locking nut. It suits touring players and home builders who value reduced mass and higher material hardness without changing their instrument geometry.

It is not for owners of standard non-headless guitars, or those who need a different string spacing or non-slanted nut; shoppers should confirm their bridge tilt and spacing before ordering, and look elsewhere if their instrument requires a different size or 6/7-string configuration.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High hardness titanium alloy gives a durable, long-lasting locking surface that resists wear.
• Lightweight design reduces added mass compared with zinc-alloy replacements.
• Anti-stabbing open holes and copper pressure plate protect fingers and strings during changes.

Cons

• Made for a specific slanted-fret 8-string headless layout, so it is not universal and requires confirming measurements.
