Detail 02
R2 is the narrower of the common Floyd nut widths; the neck's nut slot must match it.

Floyd's lower-cost line. Same geometry and layout as the Original, built with less expensive materials.
Detail 04
Bright silver hardware. Matches most stock tuners and pickup covers on non-gold guitars.
Detail 05
A floating recessed trem — it pulls up as well as down, but the guitar must be routed for it.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Only if the body is routed for a Floyd-style trem with matching post spacing, and the neck takes an R2-width locking nut. Measure both before buying.
The Special is Floyd's lower-cost line, built with less expensive materials. Layout, geometry and function are the same.
R2 is the narrower size, R3 the wider. It depends on the width of your neck's nut slot — measure it rather than guessing.
You can, but a floating Floyd rebalances with every tuning change. Retuning means resetting spring tension, so it's slow for frequent changes.
