well these are obscure today as we know but I was going to buy a guitar with it, my best advice is if its got locks on the top of the nut like the traditional floyd rose go for it, although it seems kind of redundant because the original locking nut has duplicated many times for a reason.

now if your old locking nut broke that may be a different story, might not work as good but think of it this way, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Because if I'm right the extra bullet in the string at the headstock is there to stop the friction or limit movement of the string near the top of the headstock to ensure tuning stabillity.

so in conclusion its pointless to switch I'd say , if the old one broke replace with a licensed one as licensed floyd rose nuts work just as good in experience.

Floyd Rose or Kahler?

they both do a lot of the same things, Kahler doesn't stay in tune as long but the hybrid model can go into hard tailed mode meaning like you can all of a sudden switch to normal guitar mode and swap to any tuning or string gauge if you grow weary of it. Plus it can mount right onto a guitar where as a Floyd rose needs to cut the inside of your guitar to install the springs and stuff. both can do divebombs, flutter.. everything, on youtube for a very comprehensive look check out Floyd rose vs kahler DMO guitars is awesome for guitar tech info.
