Detail 01
R3 nut
Sized for a 1-11/16" nut width. Match this to your neck; an undersized nut misaligns the outer strings.

Floyd RoseSpecial Series Tremolo Bridge with R3 Nut Nickel
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Nickel-finish double-locking tremolo with an R3 locking nut. Direct replacement for guitars already routed and drilled for a Floyd.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Matching existing nickel or chrome hardware on a guitar
- Necks with a 1-11/16" nut width needing an R3
- Rebuilding a project guitar with a Floyd rout
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hardtail guitars — installing means routing the body
- Players who prefer to rest a palm on a fixed bridge
- Anyone who wants a fast string change
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
Nickel finish
Warmer, slightly grayer than chrome. Sits close enough to chrome hardware to pass, and dulls with hand contact over time.
Detail 03
Special Series
Lowest-cost Floyd tier. Same dimensions and double-locking function as pricier versions, with less durable metals under heavy use.
Detail 04
Double-locking system
Strings are clamped at both ends. Bends and dive-bombs return to pitch, but every tuning change becomes a bench job.
Detail 05
Spring-balanced float
Rear cavity springs must be set against string tension. Change string gauge and you re-balance the whole bridge.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Verify stud spacing and rout dimensions against your body before ordering
- 02Nickel and chrome look similar but rarely match exactly side by side
- 03Budget an hour or more for the first setup and intonation
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is nickel the same as chrome?
No. Nickel is slightly warmer and less mirror-bright, and it dulls with handling. Next to chrome hardware the difference is visible but subtle.
02Will this fit a guitar with a standard tremolo?
Not without work. The stud spacing and rout depth of a Floyd differ from a vintage or two-point trem, and the locking nut needs its own shelf.
03How hard is it to change tunings?
Slow. You unclamp the nut, retune at the headstock, rebalance the floating bridge, then re-clamp and fine-tune. Not something to do mid-set.
04Do the fine tuners cover normal tuning drift?
Yes, within a small range. Once the nut is clamped, the fine tuners at the bridge are how you correct pitch without unlocking anything.
