Detail 01
Double-locking design
String clamps at both nut and saddles, so the bridge returns to pitch after heavy bar use.

Floyd RoseOriginal Series Tremolo Bridge with R3 Nut Black
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Double-locking tremolo with R3 locking nut from Floyd Rose's Original line, in black. For players fitting or upgrading a serious bar setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn or failing trem on a routed Floyd Rose guitar
- Heavy bar use where tuning stability matters more than install cost
- Black hardware builds that need a flat black bridge
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars with a hardtail or vintage trem, without routing and drilling
- Players on a tight budget; the Special series costs $141
- Anyone who changes tunings often or plays open tunings
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
R3 nut
R3 is the 1-11/16-inch nut width. Measure your neck at the nut before ordering.
Detail 03
Original series
Floyd Rose's top line, more than double the Special's price for the same double-locking layout.
Detail 04
Floating bridge
Spring tension balances string tension. Change string gauge or tuning and the claw needs resetting.
Detail 05
Fine tuners
Once the nut is clamped, all tuning happens at the bridge, over a limited range.
Detail 06
Black finish
Flat black rather than metallic. It wears through at the bar and fine tuners with hard use.
Final check

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is the Original worth $332 over the $141 Special?
Both are double-locking Floyd Rose bridges taking the same R3 nut. The Original is the top line; the Special covers the same job for less.
02Will this fit my guitar?
Only if it is routed for a Floyd Rose and takes an R3 nut, meaning a 1-11/16-inch nut width. Otherwise it means routing the body and drilling for studs.
03How long does a string change take?
Longer than a fixed bridge. Strings clamp at both ends, and you change one at a time so the floating bridge stays balanced.
04Can I use heavier strings with it?
Yes, but a floating bridge rebalances every time gauge changes. Expect to reset spring claw tension and re-intonate after the swap.
