  • R3 or R4 nut?

    I just picked up a sweet Charvel 475 with Schaller trem, but some bonehead took the FR nut off and replaced it with a regular Gibson style nut, Do I need an R3 or an R4 nut?

    R3 is standard, R4 is wider string spacing but same width overall. R2 is for 1 5/8" width nuts.
    I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

    The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

      I know about the wider spacing, just wonder what was on there originally.I'm thinking R4?

        Guaranteed to be an R3. I have 4 Charvel 475's, and all have the R3, 2 of them I'm the original owner. My Charvel 550, 650, and 750 also all use the R3. I even have a 375, and guess what? It's an R3 too!

        Gotta get away from here.
        Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
        Waitin' for the sun to appear..."
