Hello,
I was configuring a new neck for use with a Floyd Rose and I had a few questions.
First, why are there separate options in the custom neck builder for "R3 Floyd Prep" and "R4 Floyd Prep?"
According to the spec sheet as seen here:
https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1711/6239/files/Nut_Spec_Chart_Excel_2019.jpg?v=1570646079
R3 and R4 have identical width and radius, and only differ in string spacing.
If that's the case, what difference would there be for cutting a shelf for an R3 vs. R4 nut?
Second, would it make a difference if I wanted to use a nut with a different radius than the standard 10? It's my understanding that the shelf is flat, and the bottom of the locking nut is flat, and the radius is made from the depth of the string slots. If this is the case the shelf prep should not matter to the nut radius I want to install, correct?
Thanks for any input.
