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

Floyd RoseSpecial 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 lower-priced Special line, in flat black. For fitting or replacing a bar setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitars already routed for a Floyd Rose that need the bridge replaced
- Dive bombs and flutter where pitch has to come back
- Black hardware guitars, where flat black matches better than black nickel
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hardtail or six-screw vintage guitars, which need routing and drilling first
- Players who switch tunings between songs; locking nuts make that slow
- Anyone matching warmer black nickel tuners and pickup covers
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
Floating bridge
Spring tension balances string tension. Change string gauge or tuning and the claw needs resetting.
Detail 04
Fine tuners
Once the nut is clamped, all tuning happens at the bridge, over a limited range.
Detail 05
Special series
Floyd Rose's lower-cost line, roughly a third the price of the Original with the same locking layout.
Detail 06
Black finish
Flat black rather than metallic, so it sits next to black tuners more cleanly than black nickel.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure nut width and stud spacing on your guitar before ordering; these are not universal
- 02Budget setup time: spring claw, intonation, action and nut shelf all need adjusting
- 03String changes get slower, one at a time, to keep the bridge balanced
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will 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. Fitting one to a hardtail or vintage trem guitar means routing and drilling.
02Black or black nickel?
This is flat black. The black nickel version at the same price is darker and more metallic. Match whichever is closer to your tuners and pickup covers.
03What's the difference between Special and Original?
Both are double-locking Floyd Rose bridges with the R3 nut. Special is the lower-priced line at $141; the Original runs $332.
04Does the locking nut damage the neck?
It mounts to a shelf behind the fingerboard, so an unrouted neck needs modification. On a guitar already built for one, it bolts straight on.
