i think, correct me if im wrong, but it appears that it perhaps once had a locking nut installed, but that was taken out and to fill the spot a rather large nut was made.
i have seen something similer to this before.
Could y ou put a locking nut in place with the bullet truss rod?
in place of?
or do you mean, becuz its there can it be put there. i see no reason why not.
its just a matter of breaking off the wood bits behind the normal fender nut and filing it down.
do the 79 anniversary strats have a bullet rod?
I love JM pickups... in the neck position. Bridge position they are still better than Strat pickups, but not as nice as Tele pickups. (Of course, that has a lot to do with the bridge/trem setup).
I like this guitar and wouldn't mind playing it out.
