The Korena take

Double-locking tremolo system with matching R3 locking nut in gold. For routed guitars with wider nut slots and gold hardware.

Product studyFloyd Rose Special Series Tremolo Bridge with R3 Nut Gold

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Guitars already wearing gold tuners, pickup covers or strap buttons
  • Necks whose nut slot needs the wider R3 width
  • Replacing a failing trem while keeping the existing gold look

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Bodies with no tremolo rout — routing is required first
  • Necks that take the narrower R2 nut
  • Players who want zero-maintenance hardware; gold plating wears with hand contact

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 01

R3 nut included

R3 is the wider of the common Floyd nut widths. The neck's nut slot has to match, or the nut overhangs.

Detail 02

Gold plating

Cosmetic finish over the hardware. It wears faster than chrome at contact points like the fine tuners and baseplate.

Detail 03

Double-locking design

Clamping at nut and saddles keeps pitch stable through heavy vibrato use, at the cost of slower string changes.

Detail 04

Special Series

Floyd's lower-cost line. Same footprint and function as the Original, using less expensive materials.

Detail 05

Floyd Rose bridge type

Floating recessed trem that bends up and down. Requires a routed cavity and spring claw setup underneath.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm your neck takes an R3 nut — R2 and R3 are not interchangeable
  2. 02Check post spacing and rout dimensions against your existing bridge before ordering
  3. 03Gold shows wear where your palm rests; it's a finish, not a coating you can restore

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is R3 the standard size?

Neither is universal. R3 is the wider of the two common sizes. Measure your neck's nut slot width and match it.

02Will the gold match my existing hardware?

Gold plating varies in tone between manufacturers and ages differently with use. Expect a close match rather than an exact one.

03Do I need to modify my guitar?

Yes, unless it's already routed for a Floyd with matching post spacing. The locking nut also replaces the stock nut.

04Why does this cost more than the chrome version?

The gold plating accounts for the difference. The tremolo itself is the same Special Series system.
