Fender American Standard Stratocaster/Telecaster String Guides, Chrome

Perfect string tree.

They work great and finally I did something that noticeably improved tone.I had switched my bridge out and added a bone nut and nothing was making that noticeable of a difference. My tuning and vibrato ability with the trem staying in tune improved, but no positive tone difference that I could hear. Then I installed these trees, one on my fender sonoran acoustic and one on my strat that I was just talking about, and on BOTH guitars the high e and b strings sound noticeably better, clearer. It's subtle but a good way to describe it would be it sounds more expensive! The batwing trees that came on my guitar were of good quality and did not affect trem use, but they were obviously muffling the strings sound a little bit,which makes sense since they touch the string a lot more and pull the string down furthur. Awesome. It's important to note that you can file off the nubs on the bottom of these relatively easy, you just have to go slowly and make sure you just get the nub, and not part of the bottom. You could very easily create an angle if you file off part of the bottom unevenly. I did mine by hand while watching a movie and took my sweet time.

These Fender string guides are replacing the old style string guide(tree). Installed on a Tele I built. Much less surface of the string touching. Very smooth action when using the vibrato. Took no more than 10 minutes to install.. Reasonably priced, super upgrade. I recommend this product to anyone with string guides on their guitar. These look like rollers, but are not rollers. They do work well. and I will purchase more for other Tele's and StratsPros: Well made Cons; None I can think of Sleek, well designed Quick install Improved sound Inexpensive upgrade

They look good but feel kind of cheap, I’m questioning whether they’re actually a true Fender part. They are also a few mm taller than the original bent metal trees on my old Squire Strat so not sure yet how they will perform. Also be advised these are not roller trees, the ends are fixed and do not move.Update: After a few months of use these trees seem to work fine, no tuning or sustain issues. Overall happy with this product.

Less friction for sure, pinching eliminated

Had the stamped-steel string trees on a Squier tele. Replaced with one of these little dudes, super easy as long as you lop off the small pin with some wire clippers (I didn't even bother filing it down, I just let the small nub of rough metal stay to make it more stable on the wood and it works great).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.

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!

I only used one for the high E and B strings, my guitar doesn’t have any issues with 3rd and 4th. Works and looks great

They came in a fender packaging so... Looks legit? Idk. But the quality is good.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.

Great! Upgraded by rusted Squier regular trees. These seem to perform and look so much better. The strings aren't sticking at that point now. Recommended.

Sostituito su una Fender MX, che montava quello vintage in lamiera piegata, fa egregiamente il suo dovere e rende più moderna la paletta.Confermo: è l'originale.

I received it in good condition, which was very important.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.

utilisés à la place des guide-cordes "plats" d'origine dur une Squier.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.
