Guitar - General - Locking nuts without tremolo

Expert: Jason Fryer - 7/10/2009

Question
Is it feasible to put a locking nut on a guitar without a tremolo system? Will it stay in tune? Will a guitar/music store install this for me, or will it be necessary to do this on my own?

I ask this because I bend very aggressively, and am looking for a way to keep my strings in tune constantly.

Answer
Hey David, it's not really feasible. I bend very aggressively as well & have no problem with my guitar staying in tune. What kind of guitar are you playing? Check these guys out, maybe it's a better solution:
