Detail 01
R2 nut
The narrower locking nut size, near 1-5/8". Fitting an R2 on a wider neck leaves outer strings pulled toward the edge.

Floyd RoseSpecial Series Tremolo Bridge with R2 Nut Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Double-locking tremolo with an R2 locking nut, for narrower nut widths. A replacement bridge for guitars already routed for a Floyd.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Necks measuring around 1-5/8" at the nut
- Swapping out a failing locking trem on a routed body
- Heavy bar users who need pitch stability
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars without an existing Floyd rout
- Players who change tunings between songs
- Anyone unwilling to do a multi-hour setup
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
Special Series
Budget tier of the Floyd line. Identical geometry to the Original with less expensive metal in the baseplate and saddles.
Detail 03
Double-locking design
Clamps at both nut and saddle. Returns to pitch after hard whammy use in a way a vintage trem does not.
Detail 04
Black finish
Cosmetic only. Match it to your tuners and pickup covers — mixed black and chrome hardware reads as mismatched.
Detail 05
Fine tuners
Small thumbscrews at the bridge handle tuning once the nut is clamped, since the headstock tuners are locked out.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check post spacing against your current bridge — Floyd specs vary by maker
- 02Locking nut mounts where your existing nut sits; may need shimming
- 03String changes take longer: unclamp, thread, re-clamp, retune repeatedly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I know if I need R2 or R3?
Measure your nut width. R2 is the narrower option, R3 the wider one at 1-11/16". Measure before ordering; the nut has to sit flush on the neck.
02Can I install this myself?
If the guitar is already routed for a Floyd and post spacing matches, yes with patience. New routing and nut shelf work belong with a tech.
03Does it come with a tremolo arm?
The bridge assembly and R2 locking nut are what this covers. Confirm arm and mounting screw contents before you plan the install.
04Why is it cheaper than an Original Floyd Rose?
Material and manufacturing cost. The design is the same double-locking system; the Special uses less expensive alloys, which affects knife-edge life under heavy use.
