Review: They sold all my problems. The strings were slipping through my old locking note. The new one is great and fits the guitar neck perfectly. Review: So my nephew got a Jackson JS32 Dinky for <$300 bucks for Christmas. It is made in China so I thought it would not be that great until I played it, what a great feel, sound and action. Well, it is made in China so sure enough it has some issues, one of which being the nut is made of cheap metal. He had one of the screws strip out one of the holes so I purchased this from desertcart. This R3 fits "most" Jackson guitars but if in doubt go to the manufactures website and get the radius and width of the nut on your guitar and then buy the correct one. In this case, the Jackson had the 12" radius so I knew right away it was the R3 given the chart. I received the nut in the retail packaging, see pictures. I took some side by side pics to show the difference. I think it did change the string spacing a tiny bit but I did not even notice the difference until I looked back at the pictures. The bottom line is it worked great on this guitar, and cheaper than anywhere else. I recommend. Oh, and this is one of the easiest repair jobs you will ever do. ## Features - Floyd Rose Nut for Original / Pro Tremolo Systems ~ Black Floyd Rose Nut for Original / Pro Tremolo Systems ~ Black Floyd Rose Nut for Original / Pro Tremolo Systems ~ Black ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0064RY7ZM | | Best Sellers Rank | #196,869 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #87 in Locknuts | | Brand | Floyd Rose | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (108) | | Date First Available | 19 November 2013 | | Item model number | FRNR3BP | | Manufacturer | Floyd Rose | | Product Dimensions | 7.62 x 20.32 x 25.4 cm; 68.04 g | | Product Name | Floyd Rose Nut | | Weight | 0.05 Pounds | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Black - **Exterior finish:** Black - **Fastener type:** Three Metal Plate String-Clamp - **Material:** Metal - **Thread size:** M 3 ## Images ![Original Series Locking Nut R-3 Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516SYx-r5BL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***S on 13 January 2026* They sold all my problems.

The OFR locking nut is really the way to go. A bit pricey, but I know it will last with no issues. ## Frequently Bought Together - Floyd Rose Original Series Locking Nut R-3 Black - Floyd Rose Original Electric Guitar Tremolo System Kit | Color: Black | Contains All Hardware Parts Needed to Install Bridge, Springs & Claw, Mounting Studs, Arm | Legendary Double-Locking Whammy Bar - Floyd Rose Noiseless Tremolo Springs Black Electric Guitar Bridge (FRTSNBKP) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/309432035-original-series-locking-nut-r-3-black](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/309432035-original-series-locking-nut-r-3-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
