The Korena take

Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo with matching R3 locking nut in gold, for players replacing a worn or non-locking bridge on a dive-bar-capable guitar.

Product studyFloyd Rose Original Series Tremolo Bridge with R3 Nut Gold

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Guitars that already have a Floyd-style route and stud spacing
  • Players who bend hard and need tuning to survive it
  • Gold-hardware builds needing a bridge that matches the tuners

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players who change tunings often mid-set
  • Hardtail or Tune-o-matic guitars without routing work
  • Anyone unwilling to learn locking-nut restringing

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 01

Double-locking design (bridge saddles plus locking nut)

String is clamped at both ends, so tuning holds through heavy vibrato and dive bombs.

Detail 02

R3 nut

Floyd Rose sizes locking nuts by number. Measure your neck's nut width first; the wrong size will not seat.

Detail 03

Original Series

The full-spec tier, not the licensed budget version. Steel components and tighter tolerances than entry-level Floyd copies.

Detail 04

Gold finish

Gold plating wears at contact points faster than chrome or black. Palm-muting hands will polish the plate over time.

Detail 05

Floating tremolo

Spring tension balances against string tension. Changing string gauge means resetting the claw and re-leveling the bridge.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm your stud spacing, post type and route depth before ordering
  2. 02Locking nut installation may need a luthier if your guitar has none
  3. 03Restringing requires cutting ball ends and an Allen key set

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit my guitar?

Only if the body is routed for a Floyd Rose and the stud spacing matches. Check post spacing and route depth against your existing bridge before buying.

02Is the R3 nut the right size for me?

Measure your neck width at the nut. Floyd Rose numbers its locking nuts by width, and R3 is one specific size among several. The wrong one will not sit flat.

03Can I still change tunings quickly?

No. You unlock the nut, tune, re-lock, then trim with the fine tuners. A floating bridge also shifts every other string when you change one.

04Does the gold wear off?

Gold plating shows wear where your hand rests and where strings contact the saddles. It is cosmetic, not structural.
