The bridge mounting studs are what the knife edges of your Floyd Rose Special actually pivot on. When these studs wear, corrode, or get swapped for the wrong size, the bridge loses its bearing surface and return-to-pitch suffers — even if the bridge itself is undamaged. This is a factory replacement set for the Floyd Rose Special Series, two studs in hardened steel with a satin gold finish.

Whether these fit your guitar is determined by the inserts already pressed into your body, not by the bridge sitting on top. Stud and insert diameters vary between Floyd Rose series and between metric and imperial routing — the Special Series stud will only thread correctly into the matching Special Series insert. If the insert in your body is from a different series or a third-party system, this stud will not seat properly. Pulling and replacing an insert is a bench job; if you are not certain which insert you have, measure the insert before ordering or send us the make, model and year of the guitar.

The studs are hardened steel, which matters here because the knife edges bear directly on this surface under string tension. Soft or worn studs develop a groove, and once that groove forms the bridge rocks inconsistently. Satin gold finish matches the Special Series hardware.

If you are not certain this is the correct stud for your guitar, send us the make, model and year and we will confirm the fit before you order.
