MusiclilyGuitar Roller String Trees Guides String Retainers for Strat Tele Style Electric Guitar, Chrome(4 Pieces)

A much better string tree than standard.

They'll get the job done, but be warned if your hole isn't pre-drilled to the right depth you'll end up stripping the head trying to get it torqued down enough

String guide itself seems good. Certainly looks better than the original. Sadly, as others point out, the screws (even when inserted through the guide) are as long as the headstock is thick (90s Squire). This would result in the tip of the screw slightly breaking through to the backside. I ended up using the original guide screw instead which worked fine.

In the fine detail, these items are of medium quality. However they are easy to install and provide a smooth route for the strings up to the nut. What is really good is that the guide wheels are at the same height as the tuning posts, so all the strings lie parallel. Even though I only wanted two, you get four in a pack plus screws and a stiff plectrum. I'd have preferred two very good quality rather than four medium quality and a plectrum, but there you go. Once fitted you don't notice the minor imperfections, which do not affect their function as roller string trees. Be aware that the supplied screws are poor quality, so make sure you have drilled 2 mm pilot holes to reduce the torque needed to screw them into the headstock. I drilled a 1.5 mm pilot first time and the screw sheared off, but soon fixed and 2 mm pilot holes sorted the problem. I also put candle wax on the screw threads to make sure they did not bind.

Great value for money and the stability is spot on. Only one issue is the length of the screws. They were almost as long as the headstock is thick, meaning they were headed almost all the way through the headstock. Also one of the screws snapped and I had to remove it with a pair of pliers.

Whatever you do, don’t use the Screws that they include they are made of cheese.The Tree’s look like they are made of silver plastic, but don’t look as bad once on the Guitar.The Wheels don’t rotate independently, and that’s a bummer.If you have a really good guitar, or you are fussy don’t buy these.But if your looking just to get rid of the flimsy bent metal ones to make your Guitar look a little better then they are ok.Saying that, I wouldn’t buy them again.

It's hard to mess up a string tree, but non the less. These are really good, I actually ordered two of these because i thought it was just two in a pack. So i ordered two to get four. But then the post man showed up with eight. I was really pleasantly surprised to be honest.Setup was easy, unscrew the old ones and put the new ones in. Although try to use the original screw for the new string trees, because that's what your guitar is threaded for.If you're un aware, roller style string trees are better than the "clip" style trees because they can roll with the string instead of creating friction, this reduces the likeliness of strings snapping and keeps the guitar in tune for longer.In conclusion, i would recommend these completely. They're the best mod you can do to your guitar for under £5, and i will probably be purchasing more of these for future guitars.

Easily fitted and keeps the strings in line.Regards Keith Riley
