I was screwing down the locks near my machine head on my ibanez S470DX, and when I was screwing it in, not the screw, but the Nut that I screw into got striped. To give you a better idea of what im saying, here is a link of the part I need: http://www.ibanez.com/parts/2004_PARTS/el_guitar/index/index_spec.html once your there click on S / SCA series, and then under S470DX click on ABM. Then click on the part number 2LN1BR43K That is the peice I need, sitting under the 3 nuts! They give the price on this website, but I don't think I can buy anything on ibanez, does anyone know where I can buy this part?

Yes, you should be able to order the parts from somewhere ?
Alternatively you might be able to take the part to an engineering workshop and have the stripped thread re- tapped to match bigger screws.
I think the locking device just keeps it in tune, should you accidentaly knock the machine heads, and should play without it ok.
Good Luck
