locking studs?
why would you need locking studs on a floating trem?
EDIT.
ok, just read.
the locking studs are more to help the posts stabilise in the softer basswood body, so the routed holes for the studs dont elongate/become oval.
so guess that was the mod
haha, i was the one who posted about that. yeah, a precaution coz in a period of like 10-20 years of trem abuse the anchors might oval.why would you need locking studs on a floating trem?

and if you didn't know, locking stud's actually make a difference in trem stability, regardless of whatever wood it is in, nothing to do about preventing basswood from ovalling. This is what the Ibanez Edge and Lo-Pro Edge trems are well known for, coz they have the locking studs stock. Ibanez switched back to the non-locking studs coz people were breaking them not knowing that there was a locking set screw in the stud.
Locking studs prevents any movement of the studs in their threads by locking the threads with another set screw inside pressing against the base of the stud anchor. Any slight movement of the trem studs will affect tuning stability, however minute it may be.
