Update: After a few months of use these trees seem to work fine, no tuning or sustain issues. Overall happy with this product.
I wasn't expecting much, just wanted a better look. But I'm surprised at how much more resonant and open the B & E strings are. I think these have much less damping than the original crude stamped steel retainers, less surface area in contact, and the strings are less impacted by them. Good effect and makes me love playing up there even more.
Highly recommended.

Anyway beware of a little drilling needed. Of course if you are installing on a head that had non, obviously, but also on an upgrade from the "vintage" types that only use one post, as these new ones use an extra downward peg next to the screw to keep the string tree from turning. Take your time, figure it out.
Belli e funzionali
Prodotto originale Fender ™
As for fitting, you’ll need to drill a small hole to allow the small anchor to go into the wood. That’s there to prevent the string tree from getting displaced under tension.
Much better than the stock tree on my MIM Strat.
Belle esthétique, il faut limer les ergots dessous si il n'y a pas les trous correspondants sur la tête de la guitare (hasardeux et risqué de percer).
Un plus pour une guitare.
