Floyd RoseRail Tail Tremolo System RT400N, Narrow Nickel Nickel
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Rail Tail RT400N is a narrow nickel, full-contact, dive-only tremolo intended to replace an existing Strat-style six-point unit without modifying the guitar. Rather than pivoting beneath screw heads, its plate turns around a rail mounted directly to the body. Slotted mounting points let the string block move forward for added rotation; the product design cites dives up to 15 degrees beyond conventional tremolo bridges. Roller-fitted saddles, tapered string holes and the rail/block assembly are designed to maintain saddle contact and transfer string vibration to the body.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Retrofitting an existing Strat-style six-point tremolo while keeping the guitar itself unmodified.
- Players who use downward dives and want added rotational range from the movable string block.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a tremolo design other than dive-only operation.
