    I believe the R# are the model numbers that represent the nut width for each OFR.
    R2 fitting a neck width of 1-5/8'' (41.30mm) for a 10 inch radius.
    R3 for neck widths of 1-11/16'' (42.90mm) also for a 10 inch radius 
    R4 for a neck width of 1-3/4'' (can't specify mm)

    I'd say the R2 would be a fit for you Alexi 600, but I RECOMMEND IF YOU CAN, take it to a luthier and have em measure for you which OFR would fit better, because its either going to be the R2 or R3 for sure, forget about the R4.

      Heres a PDF chart i found for OFR.
      The Nut # stands for the R#.
      Width is for the neck width
      and I think that alone can help determine which OFR is suited once you get a measurement of your guitar.

        So I messed around with my FR guitar and if you screw off the base plate where you lock the nut, beneath the base plate should say what type of R# it should be.

        Done this with my ESP LTD-KH202 and mine says R1. So hopefully, the base plate on yours says which R# you need fitted.
