Locking intonated string nut with tuner mount for stringed musical instruments and methods of use

An improved locking string nut for a musical string instrument, the string-locking mechanism for said improved locking string nut employing a height-adjustable and position-securable rigid plate-like means to provide position securability for one or more of the strings of a musical string instrument and said rigid plate-like means designed to be secured in place by one or more threaded fasteners, the improved locking string nut for a musical string instrument comprising:

• one or more dual-flange fasteners that are used as said threaded fasteners for said position-height adjustability and securability of said improved intonated string nut, wherein:
• each said at least one dual-flange fastener has a gap between the fastener head and the second fastener flange, and
• said gap is sized to detachably couple with a tuner-mount bar via interference fit that is snug-enough to ensure that at least one side of a tuner-mount bar is in direct, metal-to-metal contact with said at least one dual-flange fastener;
• and
• a tuner-mount bar for attachment of a stringed musical instrument tuner for enhanced vibrational communication with said intonated string nut and any position-locked strings,
• wherein said tuner-mount bar has one or more cutouts adapted to slidably, snuggly, and detachably engage with the upper shafts of said one or more dual-flange fasteners.
