nut size and floyd roses

[mystro]

Hi i have an ibanez RG350dx and im going to replace the floyd rose, probably with a floyd rose special, but i was just wondering, will any floyd rose work with any nut size?

Just stick with the Ibanez one, a lot easier, and will work just fine.

Thanks to shims you can make any Floyd type trem work for any radius. Lock nuts are the problem part to match to necks and other radii.

Ya if you go to the floyd rose site they have Shims you can use to get your floyd rose to radius of 15-17 along with the proper nut to go along with it, but ibanez necks are on a radius of 400mmR (15.75inchs) or 430mmR (17.10 inches) so the floyd wont be perfectly matched witht the neck, but i doubt you will notice a difference

BTW Most prestige series ibanez's are 430mmR while their other lines of RGs run on 400mmR
