[Teeto Borg]

I have a 90 custom shop rhoads with a schaller kinda half reccesed deal, anyways im needing a new floyd rose and I dont know which one to get. I know its a 1 11/16ths but for a new schaller you select between wide and narrow. One is either the r3 or r 4 here is the link, thank you guys!

It should be an R3 nut if it is a bound neck and headstock.

What is the difference in string spacing, and distance from the edge for the two E strings, with the R3 vs. R4 nuts?

I think R3 is the most common. Where does the R4 show up?

The r3 nut is just a little narrower to make room for the binding on a guitar neck, if i remember correctly. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

That's correct. Its about a half a mm difference in overall string width between the two.
