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
R3 is the wider of the common Floyd nut widths. The neck's nut slot has to match, or the nut overhangs.
Detail 02
Cosmetic finish over the hardware. It wears faster than chrome at contact points like the fine tuners and baseplate.
Detail 03
Clamping at nut and saddles keeps pitch stable through heavy vibrato use, at the cost of slower string changes.
Detail 04
Floyd's lower-cost line. Same footprint and function as the Original, using less expensive materials.
Detail 05
Floating recessed trem that bends up and down. Requires a routed cavity and spring claw setup underneath.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Neither is universal. R3 is the wider of the two common sizes. Measure your neck's nut slot width and match it.
Gold plating varies in tone between manufacturers and ages differently with use. Expect a close match rather than an exact one.
Yes, unless it's already routed for a Floyd with matching post spacing. The locking nut also replaces the stock nut.
The gold plating accounts for the difference. The tremolo itself is the same Special Series system.
