    Customers like the quality of the string trees. They say it's a great upgrade for flimsy string trees on some Fender guitars. Customers also say it’s beautifully done, completely solid, and has more sustain.

    Customers are satisfied with the tuning of the guitar. They mention that the stamped metal butterfly style string improves tuning stability, insures a clear tone, and holds tune almost to a fault. The rollers are a simple and cheap way to improve tuning stability. They are easy to install and help the guitar stay in tune.

    "...Now that they're installed I can attest that the guitar holds it's tune better and it's easier to tune...." Read more

    Customers like the connectivity of the string retainers. They say it allows the strings to move more freely, and slide nicely. They also appreciate the butterfly style trees, which have less actual contact with the strings. Overall, customers are happy with the performance of the retainers and recommend them to others.

    "...steel retainers, less surface area in contact, and the strings are less impacted by them...." Read more

    "...wider styles of most string trees because they have way less actual contact with the strings...." Read more

    "...They make less contact with the string, which I believe creates less binding for the string then the "butterfly"(?)..." Read more

    "Absolute no brainer upgrade for an MIM strat. The sheet metal string trees can stick (creating a hysteresis to tuning) and make tuning a chore,..." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the fit of the leash. Some mention that it fits perfect on their TE20 SB Harley Bennett Tele, while others say that it won't fit unless they drill another hole for the post. The quality of the product is poor and may require drilling to fit on some Fender/Squire models.

    "...But they get the job done and fit perfectly on my large headstock American Fender neck...." Read more

    "...If you are upgrading, be aware these may NOT fit your guitar right out of the bag...." Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for my Mexican Tele!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2017
    These are great quality! Like another reviewer suggested, I removed the nubs from the bottom of these so that I did not have to screw 2 additional holes into my neck head stock. I did this by clipping them with diagonal cutters and then filing down the remaining material with a metal file. They were easy to install and they look great! They work well too! I found the the staggered machine heads I purchased (fender) for my tele just didn't keep the strings quite low enough by themselves. These work great!
