Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A surface-mount Floyd Rose option designed to replace Tune-O-Matic and stopbar bridges on compatible Les Paul, SG and Flying V-style guitars without standard routing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players with compatible Tune-O-Matic and stopbar-equipped Les Paul, SG or Flying V-style guitars
- Installations that can use the existing bridge mounting stud holes
- Players seeking a locking-nut tremolo system without standard body routing
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars whose bridge dimensions are not compatible
- Guitars with a headstock angle below the standard 17° unless using the FRX Custom Locking Nut with Spacer
- Some Les Pauls, especially LP Customs, that cannot accommodate the base-plate transfer rod without modification
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
Locking nut placement
The locking nut mounts behind the existing nut in place of the truss rod cover, using two wood screws.
Detail 03
Full-floating mode
Keeping the nylon trem-assist ball post in place is highly recommended to help compensate for the FRX leverage point.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does the FRX require routing?
Standard installation requires no routing, but some Les Pauls—particularly LP Customs—may need a tiny channel for base-plate clearance.
02Which guitars is it designed for?
It is designed for Les Paul, SG and Flying V-style guitars with Tune-O-Matic and stopbar-type bridge systems.
03What if my guitar has a shallow headstock angle?
If the angle is below the standard 17° and strings will not seat properly in the existing nut, the FRX Custom Locking Nut with Spacer is needed.
04Should I retain the trem-assist ball post?
Yes, Floyd Rose highly recommends keeping the nylon trem-assist ball post when using the bridge in full-floating mode.
