I've got a Fender strat with standard whammy can you put a Floyd rose locking nut only on it only or will the strings not stay in tune?

Once you lock the nut you can't tune it. That is why a Floyd Rose trem. has fine tuners on it. Are you familiar with Fenders nut with rollers.

How do you fix your guitar from going out of tune from a whammy bar every time i use the whammy bar it makes my top two string go out of tune... what do i do?
since theres more than one kind of whammy I'll put a few answers ok a Floyd rose (floating tremolo that can pull up or down) *make sure that all the locking nuts are tight, otherwise they will make the guitar go out of tune *add more springs to the body, when I bend with two strings in standard since I do it so hard it would too fender guitars where it only goes down it will naturally because of the fact theres no locking nuts on the top, its a normal thing. But some argue that if you get graphite nuts or of course install locking nuts like in Floyd roses you will have much better tuning stabillity (stay in tune longer) good luck
Does using the whammy bar on a guitar mess up the strings?
Use of a whammy bar will not damage a guitar. A Floyd Rose however does have the possibility of snapping a string because you can pull the strings tighter, maybe a Bigsby as well. Unless you're pulling up on a standard trem that hasn't been set up properly, a whammy bar won't damage the guitar.
Can you put a whammy on a guitar with a fixed bridge?
your going to need to remove the strings, and the piece that the strings are attached two at the bottom of the guitar. Other than that, it is perfectly possible.
Can you use a fender squire whammy bar on a esp ltd Floyd rose?
I don't see why not , I used my friends stratocasters whammy bar on my beasts Floyd rose and it worked just fine, didn't feel right though. The best whammy bars I've had so far are 7 string ones.. longer and easier to use.
How do you attach a whammy bar to an SG guitar?
Only some electric guitars can have a whammy bar attached. On the side of the bridge (the bridge is the part that has the strings attached to it on the bottom half of the guitar) locate a small hole. Put the part of the bar with the twist on/off bit in the hole and tighten it. Don't push down too hard on the bar, as it may damage the bridge/body of the guitar. When putting the guitar in a bag or case, remove the whammy bar.

Can any whammy bar fit in any guitar because I just got a new proline whammy bar and it will not fit into the hole of my ibanez GIO so is there something else you have to do to install a whammy bar?
if it doesn't check out the ibanez forums, I was hanging out with one of my friends and she had a strat with no whammy bar so I took the whammy bar off my BC Rich guitar and because it was a different kind (floyd rose) it wouldn't work on her fender stratocaster lookalike. there should be no installation , just put it in I mean the metal is already prepared and a direct replacement, if you can get your money back go for it.
